It wasn’t to be for the Irish-trained City Of Troy,<\/strong> who had been the subject of most of the pre-Breeders’ Cup Classic<\/strong> talk – with this year’s Epsom Derby winner fluffing the start and trailing in 8th of the 14 runners.<\/p>\n

As a result of his bad break from the gates, Ryan Moore was unable to get City Of Troy into the race and was always racing well off the pace in what was a fiercely-run 41st renewal of the richest race over the two-race US meeting.<\/p>\n

City Of Troy, who also seemed to hate the kickback, will now be retired to the Coolmore stud – where horse racing<\/a> fans can look forward to seeing some of his offspring in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

While, let’s not forget the horse can bow out with a pretty impressive CV that includes G1 wins in the Dewhurst Stakes, Juddmonte International, Epsom Derby and Coral Eclipse. Winning six of his eight career starts.<\/p>\n
