Minor liver problem found in Lawman after Marois run

TESTS on Lawman, so disappointing when a distant last behind Manduro in Sunday‘s Prix Jacques le Marois, has a minor liver problem.
Blood tests were undertaken on the Prix du Jockey-Club winner after his abject performance at Deauville, where he was 13 lengths behind the winner – and ten lengths behind runner-up Holocene, whom he had beaten by two and a half when they met in a Group 3 at Chantilly back in May.
Trainer Jean-Marie Beguigne revealed news of the blood-test analysis on Tuesday. “The results showed the colt has a minor liver problem and he will have a more thorough check-up at the end of the week,” he said. “He has been walking today and seems fine in himself.”
