Re: Horse Racing
Fanshawe leaves it late with Blues

James Fanshawe is likely to make a late call on whether Deacon Blues will be ready in time for the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The six-year-old has been off the course since winning the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes at the Berkshire track the season before last. He is back in full work but the Royal meeting may just come too soon for the 2011 Wokingham hero, who requires some cut in the ground.
"He's been galloping, but whether we get to Ascot I'm not sure at the moment. It will be fairly close to the date before we make a final decision on him," Fanshawe said.
"It's just a case of if he's ready to go. We've still got 14 days and he's one that needs cut in the ground."
