No risk approach

Connections of the Group performer Promise To Reign are happy to err on the side of caution. The well-related mare, who has four black type placings, has been put aside for the season following a minor set-back. ‘‘We didn’t want to risk her, she’s a valuable mare so we’re being very careful with her,’’ co-trainer Kieran Murdoch said. ‘‘We’ll check her through the winter and we would be disappointed if she didn’t come back.’’
