    Ward said: “It was a head-scratcher and disappointing, but when we got back to the barn the vet scoped her and she ended up having bled with a score of three out of five, which, in a Group One, is enough to get you beat, probably.

    “It’s not good that she bled, but at least it’s a bit of an answer as to the reason why she didn’t kick on that last little bit of the race.

    “She’s going to her owner’s Stonestreet Farm for about 90 days. We’ll pick her up in the first part of the year, get her going and hopefully we’ll be able to get her back for Ascot for next year.”

    I would agree with Steeplechasing in that she was far too free to produce a finishing kick over 6 furlongs in a decent race and paid the penalty for the early fractions.
