Pisa misses Hong Kong outing

Dubai World Cup winner Victoire Pisa will miss an outing at Sha Tin on Sunday week.

No Hong Kong outing for World Cup hero

Dubai World Cup winner Victoire Pisa has suffered a minor injury during his preparation for the Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup and will miss the big race at Sha Tin on Sunday week. After taking veterinary advice, connections have decided to withdraw the Katsuhiko Sumii-trained four-year-old from the Group One contest. A statement from the Hong Kong Jockey Club reported the colt was mildly lame in his right hind which has interrupted his training. Seventh in the Arc last year, Victoire Pisa hit the headlines when just getting the better of Japanese compatriot Transcend to land the world's richest race at Meydan last month. He had been facing a potential clash with Michael Bell's Wigmore Hall in Hong Kong.
