One Cool Cat was one of the stars of last season
|
One of last year's leading juveniles One Cool Cat has been retired to stud after fracturing a hind leg on the gallops.
Much had been expected from the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt this season after he won two Group One races as a two-year-old.
But he came second-to-last when favourite for the 2,000 Guineas and has won just once in five outings.
O'Brien had been planning to run him in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp on Sunday before the injury.
The colt is expected to make a full recovery but will not able to race again.
"I'd always hoped that one day One Cool Cat would display on the racecourse the brilliance he's always shown us at home," O'Brien told the Racing Post.
One Cool Cat will stand at stud either in Kentucky or at Coolmore's Irish base.
