Connections of Under The Louvre may have had a change of heart whether or not their galloper will line-up in Saturday’s Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.
Connections had notified the public that Under The Louvre will be scratched from the race due to drawing a wide barrier however he was not officially scratched from the race.
So, Under The Louvre out of Rupert Clarke due to seemingly suitable wide gate & Our Ivanhowe out of Underwood due to cut leg (runs T’bull)
