PHOENIX TOWER has been retired with immediate effect, after scans this morning have shown a small tendon tear, which has been deemed "an unacceptable risk," in a press release issued by Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner Prince Khalid Abdullah.

The Henry Cecil trained four-year-old was due to run in the Group 1 Emirate Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday October 18.

Grimthorpe added: "Obviously it is disappointing as we were really looking forward to the weekend and he would have had a great chance.

"He was in really good form and it is a real shame as if ever a horse deserved to win a Group 1 it was him.

"The decision has just been made this morning to retire him so we haven't got any further than that at this stage.

"We will have to have a chat about where he will stand at stud but nothing has been decided on that yet."

呢, 用戴勤丫拿, 施老頭你知錯未?

連黃金機會都搏唔到:ggg:

Phoenix Tower 本來想跑 Champion Stakes..+ 會換走 Durcan

可惜隻馬有傷:sss:

計馬..一定有 G2 的水準..可能 G1 都有

輸畀 Duke 2次..最近果次仲先過 New Approach 過終點

1600 輸畀 Creachadoir 得第2..

拿住這個賽績..真係值 G1水準

最後竟然以4場 G1 第2 告終..實在太可惜:llll:

Durcan:bbb::bbb:
