St Leger hero JAN BRUEGHEL has been ruled out of the Melbourne Cup after failing a pre-race veterinary check.
The three-year-old, who is the reigning St Leger hero, had travelled to Australia in a bid to give the trainer his first success in the race.
A statement from Racing Victoria said: “Racing Victoria Stewards, acting on specialist veterinary advice, have today withdrawn Jan Brueghel from the entries for the 2024 Lexus Melbourne Cup to be run at Flemington next Tuesday, 5 November.
“In accordance with the conditions of the race, Jan Brueghel was presented at the University of Melbourne Equine Centre in Werribee on Saturday, 26 October for compulsory CT scans of its distal limbs.
“Reports received from an expert panel of internationally renowned equine surgeons and diagnostic imaging specialists, who reviewed Jan Brueghel’s CT scan results, indicate that the horse is currently at heightened risk of injury.
“Following advice from RV Veterinary Services in relation to the specialist opinions from the independent imaging panel, RV Stewards ordered the withdrawal of Jan Brueghel from the Melbourne Cup on the basis that he was unsuitable to compete.”
Callum Shepherd has questioned the judge’s decision to call a dead- heat in the last race at Kempton on Wednesday night – a verdict which resulted in an 18-day suspension for the rider.
Speaking to Nick Luck, Shepherd said: “It was 8.30pm, the last race, it was dark but all you have to do is put your phone on full brightness and I think it’s pretty apparent to everyone who looks that it might be a small margin, but there is a distinct gap and a margin in our favour."
“It’s one they have got wrong I feel."
The incident comes just days after James Doyle avoided suspension at Windsor on Monday, after appearing to stop riding his mount before the line, resulting in defeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iozQ...
