Chenchikova suffers setback
13/04/2006 - 11:46:48Aidan O’Brien’s Chenchikova could miss the Vodafone Oaks at Epsom on June 2 after suffering a setback.
The filly, who is a full sister to 2002 Derby hero High Chaparral, made a favourable impression when winning on her debut at Tipperary last September.
However, she disappointed at the Curragh on her seasonal bow when only fourth in a Group Three ran on heavy ground and O’Brien has warned she may not be ready for the Classic, for which she is a 14-1 shot with William Hill
“She has suffered a minor setback and it’s possible she may not make the Oaks,” said a spokesman for owners Coolmore.
