Hungarian racehorse sensation to be "saved" for Royal Ascot

Hungarian racehorse sensation Overdose will not run at England's Haydock Park on May 23, due to a foot infection, it was announced on Sunday. However, the horse, winner of all 12 of its races to date, is expected to run in two races at the prestigious Royal Ascot event in June.

Max Fournier, the veterinarian who treats Marchand d'Or, a great French rival of Overdose, removed an abscess from the horse's front left leg and was able to put a shoe on it.
