Board Set For Royal Return

Follow on Discover

Published at

Dual Oaks and Breeders´ Cup heroine Ouija Board is poised to return to action in the Princess Royal Stakes at Newmarket in September.

The Ed Dunlop-trained four-year-old has been off the track since she suffered a stress fracture to her near-fore cannon bone in the Prince Of Wales´s Stakes at Royal Ascot at York.

However, the Newmarket trainer revealed his star performer is making good progress and could be fit for a tilt at the Group Three event on September 24.

'We´re thinking of aiming for the Princess Royal Stakes, as the conditions for the race mean she will have no Group One penalty,' Dunlop told the Racing Post.
