HAATEF TO MISS IRISH GUINEAS
By Ben Linfoot
Kevin Prendergast's Haatef will miss Saturday's Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh after suffering a setback.
The Danzig colt was well fancied for the English version after finishing fourth in the Dewhurst on only his second start, but he finished in 10th place at Newmarket over six lengths behind Cockney Rebel.
He was due to run at the Curragh on Saturday but trainer Prendergast has ruled him out of the contest.
"He won't run on Saturday," Prendergast told Sportinglife.com.
"He has had a bit of a setback and will not run for a while. It is just a blood disorder, but we have no plans yet. We need to get him right."
Haatef had been a best-priced 12/1 for Saturday's Classic.
