Tregoning Stunned By Mubtaker Death - Yahoo! Sport UK

Tregoning Stunned By Mubtaker Death - Yahoo! Sport UK
Mubtaker, runner-up to Dalakhani in the 2003 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, has died after suffering multiple fractures on the gallops in Lambourn.

Marcus Tregoning’s popular nine-year-old shattered his lower off-hind during a routine piece of work on Farncombe Down.

Attempts were made to save him but the decision, taken on veterinary advice, was made for the entire to be humanely destroyed.

“Everyone at our yard is devastated by Mubtaker’s death and it will take us time to get over it,” Tregoning told the Racing Post.

“We adored him for his courage, his consistency and his wonderful outlook on life.

“I doubt I’ll see another similar to Mubtaker during my career.”

The Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned chestnut was a winner of 13 races from 31 starts and earned connections over £700,000 in prize money.

His final success came in the Group Three John Porter Stakes at Newbury - a course he won at six times - when he showed characteristic battling qualities to hold off Munsef by a neck in April.

SPENCER TOP JOCKEY JOLLY

SPENCER TOP JOCKEY JOLLY
Champion jockey Jamie Spencer leapt to the head of the betting for the London Clubs Trophy for top jockey at Royal Ascot after a treble on the second day.

Spencer booted home Red Evie in the finale to complete a 213-1 three-timer but it came at the expense of a four-day suspension.

Earlier victories on Cesare in the Royal Hunt Cup and Soviet Song in the Windsor Forest have seen his odds tumble in the race for the leading jockey to 2-7 (from 5-2) with totesport and 2-5 (from 11-4) with William Hill.

“He has such a good book of rides tomorrow that we think he could have the title sewn up before the end of the week,” said Damian Walker of totesport.

Rule 4 Deductions

People often ask me about rule 4 deductions what they are and when they apply.

Well, a Rule 4 comes into effect if an intended runner is withdrawn from a race prior to the start. A rule 4 deduction is made on the return from all bets made before the withdrawal and if the bookmakers are unable to form a new market SP (starting price) bets also have the deduction.

Godolphin return on Wednesday

Godolphin who suspended operations following a dismal spell of form have entered Librettist in the Victoria Antiques Conditions Stakes at Nottingham on Wednesday.

Librettist a son of Danzig has been off course since finishing 4th in the 2004 Dewhurst stakes.

Dispite the poor run of results the Godolphin team are still mystified as to why their horses are performing so badly.
