The Classic-placed Royal Scotsman (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), who bears the colours of Mrs. Fitri Hay, will not race again this season due to bone bruising, co-trainer Paul Cole revealed on Saturday. However, the G2 Richmond S. winner will return next year.
“He's suffered from bone bruising, which is quite rare but not a long-term issue,” said Paul Cole, who trains with his son Oliver. “Sadly he won't run again this season.
“My intention is to win as many Group 1s over a mile as I can with him next year.”
Second in the G1 Dewhurst S. and third in the G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket both times to Chaldean (GB) (Frankel {GB}), the bay has been unplaced in two additional starts this term. In both cases, the colt was beaten by star 3-year-old Paddington (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas and the G1 St James's Palace S. in May and June.
