French horse Baracouda to miss Long Walk
French horse star Baracouda will miss Saturday's Long Walk Hurdle at Windsor due to an administrative error.
The Francois Doumen-trained 10-year-old has won the Grade One race four
times, including a narrow victory over Crystal D'Ainay last year but
owner JP McManus' racing manager Frank Berry said: "Everything is fine,
it was just a clerical error and he wasn't confirmed this morning.
"I wouldn't have any idea at this stage where he will go instead."
His arch rival in the stayers' division and Ladbrokes World
Hurdle winner Inglis Drever heads the nine horses left in at the
five-day stage, with his trainer Howard Johnson also confirming No
Refuge.
Crystal D'Ainay, who was third to Inglis Drever and Baracouda in the
Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury last month, is another possible runner
and will hope to go one better than last year.
