Canada option for Snow Fairy

Thursday 27 September 2012, 9:48am

Ed Dunlop has played down speculation Snow Fairy could be re-routed from the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe to the E P Taylor Stakes at Woodbine in Canada a week later.

The Newmarket trainer has stressed he is merely keeping all avenues open for his top-class mare.

The Arc at Longchamp on Sunday week, in which she finished third last year, remains the target for the seven-time Group One winner, subject to ground conditions.

"Everything's fine, we'll have a weather watch and wait and see," Dunlop said.

"Every opportunity is there for Snow Fairy. It (the E P Taylor) is a precaution. It's not a planned run.

"It's purely there as an option for her if the ground is very soft (at Longchamp) or whatever."
