He told ITV Racing: “He was being checked all week, he seemed OK and the vets have checked him this morning and weren’t happy with him, so that’s the way it is. Obviously that’s the rules and I suppose there’s no more to say about that.“We’re visitors here and we’re very grateful to be here, rules are rules and they just weren’t happy with him today.
“Obviously when we came here we were happy to abide by whatever rules were going to be set in this state by the Breeders’ Cup.🗣️ "If you're in Rome you don't fight with the Pope." The Ballydoyle handler still won the Juvenile Turf, with Unquestionable taking the prize under Ryan Moore. She said: “He has not had a single issue all week – he has been examined at least three times a day, he has been out on the track, he has galloped, he’s done stalls, there are vets on the gallops.
