Cabra Fly, one of the leading fancies for Tuesday's William Hill Pall Mall final at Oxford, was withdrawn from the big race on this morning after bruising a hip in her kennel. "She's a fiery bitch, and that well in herself she must have been jumping up and down in her kennel. We found a bruise on her hip, and took her to the vet's. She must have banged the hip some time. She can't run on Tuesday - it's as simple as that."
"She'll be fine in five or six days' time. I feel absolutely wounded. We had plenty of Category One finalists last year, but this was the first time I genuinely thought we had a real, real chance of winning one. She's definitely fast enough to have won it.
"Cabra Fly is too good a bitch to take any chances with. Hopefully, that's all her bad luck out of the way for this year, and we can focus on her long-term target, the Oaks at Wimbledon."
