Brown Panther given Breeders' go-ahead

Wednesday 22 October 2014, 7:42am

Brown Panther will attempt to banish memories of a painful Canadian experience when he goes to the Breeders' Cup meeting at Santa Anita.

The Tom Dascombe-trained stayer was withdrawn from the Canadian International at Woodbine on Sunday after he tossed jockey Richard Kingscote on the way to the start.

Jointly-owned by former England international footballer Michael Owen and eighth in last year's Melbourne Cup, Brown Panther will get the chance to set the record straight in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

He will have the assistance of a pony on the way to the gates.

Owen also confirmed the six-year-old entire would remain in training next season.

"The track is not ideal, the trip is not ideal and that downhill start won't be ideal," Owen told Racing UK.

"He's a blooming good horse and I want him to continue next season.

"I might never have a horse like this again."
