Red Sherlock ruled out for the season David Pipe has been forced to rule the smart Red Sherlock out for the rest of the season. Not seen since meeting with the only defeat of his career in the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last March, Pipe had hoped to get him back for the second half of the campaign. However, plans are now on hold. "Unfortunately when he arrived back from pre-training at Timmy Murphy's yard his scans were not satisfactory and after facing a race against time with him, we have decided to draw stumps for the season," the Pond House handler told www.davidpipe.com. "He is far too good a prospect to rush and so he will be given all the time he requires to return to 110 per cent. "It is extremely disappointing for everyone at the yard and of course his owners, although I am sure he will be well worth waiting for."
