Yankee Rose pulls up lame after VRC Oaks

Beaten VRC Oaks favourite Yankee Rose has pulled up lame with an x-ray confirming a bone chip.

Racing Victoria stewards advised the David Vandyke-trained three-year-old was sore in the near fore leg with an x-ray showing she had a bone chip in the knee.

Yankee Rose was sent out a $1.95 favourite in Thursday’s Group One race over 2500m and finished 14th behind $101 winner Lasqueti Spirit, beaten more than 20 lengths.
