Dual Group 1 winner Perfect Power (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}), who won Saturday's G1 Juddmonte Middle Park S. at Newmarket, may be put away for the winter, rather than make another start as his connections consider their options. Sheikh Rashid Dalmook Al Maktoum's colt graduated at second asking at Hamilton prior to winning the G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot on June 17. Only fifth in the G2 Richmond S. at Goodwood at the end of July, Perfect Power rebounded with a 1 1/4-length win in the G1 Darley Prix Morny on Aug. 22, prior to his Middle Park win.
“He's come out of it well. I'm pleased with him. He's a pretty straightforward guy to deal with,” said trainer Richard Fahey. “I've got to speak to Sheikh Rashid. We haven't really sat down and had a chat yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was probably finished for the year.”
In 2022, Fahey is looking to step the bay up in trip with an eye to next year's Classics.
“We'll run him in one of the trials,” the trainer added. “We'll see how he winters first and just get him going and see which route we're going.”
