Lord Lloyd-Webber's accomplished but lightly raced 4-year-old filly So Mi Dar (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) was once again scratched from her intended seasonal debut on Thursday when she was removed from Sandown's G3 Brigadier Gerard S. due to a “problem with her muscle enzymes,” said Simon Marsh, racing manager for Lloyd-Webber. So Mi Dar, a daughter of three-time Group 1 winner Dar Re Mi (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}), was originally slated to start out in last week's G2 Middleton S. before being scratched due to the soft ground. She will now be re-routed straight to Royal Ascot, where she holds entries in the G2 Duke of Cambridge S. and the G1 Prince of Wales's S.
“It's nothing too serious and not a long-term problem at all,” said Marsh of the reason for Thursday's scratching. “It's very annoying as we're desperate to get a run into her. She's in very good form and has been working very well, she just needs to run but there's nothing you can do.”
“Hopefully we will go to Royal Ascot now,” he added. “She's in a couple of races there and there's been no decision on which race she will run in yet.”
So Mi Dar has won four of five, including last year's G3 Musidora S. She was third, beaten a half-length, when last seen in the G1 Prix de l'Opera Longines last October.
