McPeek eyes return after Oaks blow

-

KENNY McPEEK vowed “I’ll be back” after US challenger Daddys Lil Darling was dramatical­ly withdrawn at the start of the Oaks at Epsom.

Frightened by a clap of thunder, Olivier Peslier’s mount charged in panic towards the stalls, causing the jockey to take evasive action by jumping off.

“She was extremely strong and her energy was so high,” said the Kentucky trainer (right).

“You can’t predict that, but we’re big boys and there are more important things in the world.

“I’ll be back.”
