Re: Horse Racing
GELDED BONFIRE OUT FOR SEASON.

Quote:
Dante Stakes winner Bonfire has been gelded and will not run again this year.
The Andrew Balding-trained three-year-old was Group One-placed as a juvenile and created plenty of excitement when scoring a cosy victory in the York Group Two in May.
However, he failed to fire when sixth in the Derby and fared no better in the Eclipse at Sandown, despite returning to a more conventional course.
The son of Manduro took a keen hold in the early stages in the Eclipse and Harry Herbert, racing manager for owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, felt that was a sure sign all was not well with Bonfire.
