'Song' Out of Vintage Crop Due to Ground

Search For a Song | Racingfotos.com

Group 1 winner Search For a Song (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a dual G1 Irish St Leger heroine, will not participate in Sunday's G3 Vintage Crop S. due to unsuitable weather and ground. The 5-year-old was most recently in action on Oct. 17, running second in the G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup.

“We hoped to run Search For A Song in the Vintage Crop on Sunday and while she has never been better in her life, with the dry weather and ground we couldn't take the chance running her,” said Kris Weld, assistant to his father Dermot. “We'll wait for another few weeks and see.”

Sear For a Song's stablemate Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal), who produced a thrilling turn of foot to capture the GI Breeders' Cup Turf at Keeneland in November, is also in good form. However, the Aga Khan homebred does not have a definite reappearance date yet. She won all four starts in 2020, starting with the Aug. 8 G3 Give Thanks S. followed by the G1 Qatar Prix Vermeille on Sept. 13 and the Oct. 4 G1 Prix de l'Opera Longines prior to her Keeneland score.

“Tarnawa is very well. There isn't really a plan with her yet, and boring and all as it sounds, we'll be guided by her,” said Weld. “She is still on her break, but will be back shortly.

“The reason she is being kept in training is to have a go at the Arc and we'll see if she's up to it or not–please God she is.”
