Eagle to miss Sheema

Eagle Mountain, a short-head runner-up in the Group 1 Champion Stakes on his last start, will miss the Dubai Sheema Classic (sponsored by Nakheel), according to trainer Mike De Kock.

The big hope fractured his pelvis while exercising on Saturday morning, and his trainer commented: "It's a real blow as he was coming along nicely.

"He has top-class form which is in the book for everyone to see, and he would have been one of our big hopes for Dubai World Cup night.

"But we'll give him plenty of rest and get him back for the early summer in Europe, and then aim him at the major races at the end of the season, like the Arc and Breeders' Cup."
