It looks a beast

I think we can expect an annoucement soon from Coolmoore of slight setback and imminent retirement.
|

By:
Soumillon given it the expected poor ride also(even he can win on it)
  |

Have now rated the race,I have 134-137,I lean towards the later,but the best performance of the year,and unlikely to be topped!
|
|
By:
possibly the best middle distance performance since Harbinger
 |

The Fugue .. now retired as result of an injury in the Eclipse.

A good filly. Can't help thinking it wasn't unexpected with Australia being targeted at her next two possible targets. Not often do good fillies beat good colts but she did it more than once.
|
|
By:
That's because you can't help but wallow in theories.
Her next target was the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood, a race she previously won. |

By:
I am usually well behind with information but I was told that was already off the agenda.
|
|
By:
You were told eh? Entries came out this week, of which she was in.

"Unfortunately The Fugue sustained an injury to her near-fore in the Eclipse Stakes," trainer John Gosden told the @RacingPost. |

Ctd. "We have taken the decision, in the best interests of the filly, to retire her from racing. She has been a pleasure to train." |

By:
Well I was told by the person who told me RH's 2 year old winner yesterday that he heard at the weekend she had nicked herself and was an unlikely runner. If she sustained a near fore injury in the Eclipse as reported then she would certainly have been a very unlikely runner in the Nassua. Not rocket science.

By:
Of course it's not rocket science you smug cretin.
|
|
By:
Well you re-printed the bit about the injury in the Eclipse. Don't you think that would compromise the possibility of a run in the Nassua? And then the only races left would be the Juddmonte and Irish Champion Stakes where if she were ready she could well be up against it. That is not smug it's just plain common sense. Perhaps you didn't read what you re-printed?

Just counteracting the Homophobia on this Forumn , now getting back to the Horses which is the purpose of this place , yes sorry to hear the Fugue is to be retired , he peak performance came in the POW imo where she was Electric .
|
|
By:
be suprising if the plans for Australia had anything whatsoever to do with The Fugue's retirement
|
|
By:
You don't think after they knew she would miss Goodwood that the next targets would be York and Ireland where Australia has been earmarked that it never had anything to do with the decision? It was only a nick so why retire her then? Why not wait?
|
|
By:
well that was poor , Fig got it right he aint no sprinter
|
|
By:
What difference would it make to The Fugue and her connections if she did get beat by Australia?
|
|
By:
It wouldn't make any difference I doubt but with potentially strong opposition meaning the races would not be a gimme why ask her such a question when there is no need?
|
|
By:
But no Group 1's are a gimmes ffs. Look how strong the POW was this year and they ran in that. Talking absolute nonsense.
|
|
By:
it's not as if Australia has yet proved itself a wonder-horse
|
|
By:
I think yo will find she was only nicked in the Eclipse. I think you will find the considered her for the Nassau so the nick wasn't that bad. I think you will also find they have retired her. You may think it is nonsense but that's just a lack of common sense really.

Smug pratt.

They obviously didnt notice the injury straight away hence the declaration for Goodwood.
I don't think there is a conspiracy theory. Simon Marsh, racing manager for the owners Lord and Lady Lloyd-Webber, said: "I haven't spoken to John today but the filly was absolutely fine last night and I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with her. "It was a shame we had the shower earlier in the day, which made the ground a bit loose. We just have to move on and we'll look at the Nassau for her next. "Yesterday was just one of those days." |
