Champion Azerty, owned by the Paris Saint-Germain stable, is reportedly unavailable for the Deauville November meeting due to a calf injury.
Crack Azerty, recent Quinté+ winner and representative of the Paris Saint-Germain-associated stable, could be scratched from the next Deauville meeting. According to several concordant racing sources, the 5-year-old horse would be suffering from a calf injury that would prevent him from taking part in the autumn fixture's races.
This potential unavailability comes just days before France Galop publishes the list of runners. The champion's connections have declined to comment on these rumors, but bookmakers are already adjusting their odds for the races concerned.
Regular jockey Yohan Bourillon, who was supposed to ride the Paris stable's charge, could be assigned a new mount. Turf professionals are now questioning which horse will take his engagement in the scheduled Quinté+.
This news comes after a mixed season for horses linked to football stables. Several establishments have experienced results below expectations this year, and this latest scratch should not improve their annual record.
