Star sprinter Alboran Sea will be retired to stud. Mary Slack and Michael Javett’s three-year-old filly suffered a knee chip in Saturday’s Group 1 City Of Pitermaritzburg SA Fillies Sprint at Scottsville and the connections decided that it would be in her best interests to end her racing career without risking further injury after a lengthy recovery period.
Trainer Mark Kavanagh remains unperturbed by another horror barrier draw for his star three-year-old Whobegotyou ahead of Saturday’s Emirates Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick.
