Subjectivist to Remain on Sidelines Until 2023

Group 1 winner Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), who had been aiming to defend his title in the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in June, will remain benched for 2022, but could still make a comeback in 2023, according to co-trainer Charlie Johnston. The news was first reported by Racing Post.

“We felt that to be ready in time for Ascot he'd have to go back into work now and as it's really only eight months since the injury was sustained-we don't feel it's quite long enough,” said Johnston. “We've taken the difficult decision to write this year off. He's very well in himself, but we want to give the injury the best chance of withstanding training when he comes back into full work. The longer he has off the better chance we stand, so we've had to weigh that up.

“It's very tough to leave your best horse on the sidelines for the season and we just hope we can make up for lost time in 2023.”

A winner of the G1 Prix Royal-Oak when signing off in 2020, the bay took the G2 Dubai Gold Cup on Dubai World Cup night last year by 5 3/4 lengths prior to a five-length domination in the Gold Cup on June 17. The Dr. Jim Walker runner sustained an injury to his right foreleg in July of 2021, and has not been in action since.

“We'll probably aim towards Saudi Arabia this time next year and lead into Dubai and Ascot again,” added Johnston. “He's been swimming and on the water walker for six months now and he'll continue his current regime for the next couple of months before being turned out for the summer.”

Gold Cup Defence For Subjectivist as Sir Ron Priestley Retired

Dual Group 1 winner Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), who was injured in training in July, is aiming for a title defence of the G1 Gold Cup in June. The 4-year-old won the G1 Prix Royal-Oak, G2 Dubai Gold Cup and Gold Cup in succession before his plans were derailed for the season.

“Subjectivist is still here at Kingsley Park and there are no immediate plans for retirement,” said trainer Mark Johnston. “It is well publicised that an injury came to light soon after he won this year's Ascot Gold Cup and there is no doubt that that injury is career threatening but, in the absence of a suitable job at stud, we will make an attempt to bring him back for the Royal meeting next year.

“As the clock ticks by towards the 2022 covering season it looks likely that he will still be here in the New Year and returning to training.”

Regarding Sir Ron Priestley (GB) (Australia {GB}–Reckoning {GB}, by Danehill Dancer {Ire}), who won both the G2 Princess of Wales's S. and G2 Jockey Club S. this year besides running second in the 2019 G1 St. Leger and third in the 2021 G1 Goodwood Cup S., Johnston added, “His three-parts brother, Sir Ron Priestley, on the other hand, will definitely be retired. He is also currently still with us but it is hoped that he will shortly be departing for France where he will take up stud duties.”

Subjectivist Done For Year After Injury

Two-time Group 1 winner Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), who won the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month, has sustained a leg injury that puts him out of action until at least next season. A Dr. Walker colourbearer, the 4-year-old entire was targeting the G1 Goodwood Cup on July 27. A winner of the G1 Prix Royal-Oak at ParisLongchamp in October, the bay continued his rich vein of form with a victory at Meydan in the G2 Dubai Gold Cup on Mar. 27 and was making his first start since in the Gold Cup. At this time, it is not known if Subjectivist will run again or be retired for stud duty.

Trainer Mark Johnston said, “He's got an injury and it's certainly season-ending. There was no secret that the horse had filling in his left foreleg in Dubai straight after the race [G2 Dubai Gold Cup] and we got a hell of a fright from that. Visually, that was a career-ending injury.

“Within 24 hours he'd got a reasonably clean bill of health and within a month he'd got a complete clean bill of health, which was very unusual for that type of situation. Everything went perfectly well and there were no issues going into the Ascot Gold Cup or afterwards.

“But on Monday he had filling in the opposite leg. Because the left foreleg had been so atypical and he'd come back from that, we hoped it would be the same with the other leg, but it didn't. It's absolutely heartbreaking. The only positive we can take from it is that at least he did get the opportunity to show us what he could do.

“Those of us that were there in Dubai thought that was a phenomenal performance and at least it was confirmed in what I like to think was one of the best Ascot Gold Cups in recent days. I don't know [if he'll run again].”
