Kommetdieding out of Derby

Cape Derby favourite Kommetdieding is out of the race due to injury. The stable announced the news this morning. 

"It is with great disappointment that we have to withdraw Kommetdieding from Saturday’s Grade 1 Cape Derby.
He sustained an over reach in his final workout today before Saturday’s race.

We are obviously saddened that this special horse who has had so many fans behind his success will not be able to contest his first Group 1 race.

Although this is a minor and superficial injury and having discussed with our owner Mr A. Reynolds and our veterinary team at Baker & McVeigh we have decided to put this horse’s best interest and well being first and wouldn’t want to tarnish is impeccable strike rate.

The sport of horse racing most certainly gives us highs and lows and we will live to fight another day."
