Favourite Found not certain to run in Guineas By Tony O'Hehir 3:25PM 23 APR 2015
ANTE-POST favourite Found will have a make-or-break gallop on Saturday morning in order to decide whether she will take her chance in next week's Qipco 1,000 Guineas.
The daughter of Galileo is no bigger than 5-2 for the May 3 race but trainer Aidan O'Brien revealed to the Racing Post on Thursday afternoon that she is not yet certain to run.
"She had a temperature a few weeks before we brought a team of horses to work after racing at the Curragh last month, so she did less than others that day," he said.
"She's been back in full work for the past few weeks and we're hoping she will make the 1,000 Guineas. She will work on Saturday morning and we'll make a decision afterwards. If she doesn't make Newmarket then she's in the Irish Guineas and the Investec Oaks."
Warning signs were there when he said very similar things at the gallop at the Curragh, couple that with the history of his Guineas favourites over the winter and that she has had no prep it's looks more like a plan rather than an interruption
