Mishani Hercules scratched from Magic Millions 2YO Classic

January 12, 2024 11:19 am.

In a recent development, Mishani Hercules, trained by Les Ross, has been withdrawn from Saturday’s Magic Millions 2YO Classic at the Gold Coast Turf Club.

The decision came after veterinary examinations revealed lameness in the horse’s near foreleg.

Les Ross concurred with the diagnosis and opted not to seek a re-examination tomorrow morning. Ongoing veterinary checks for other Magic Millions runners are currently underway.

No deductions are to be made in betting markets with top horse racing bookmakers following the scratching of Mishani Hercules.

Spirited from the Chris Munce yard now gains a start in the race as the only emergency who accepted.
