G2 Coventry S. hero Calyx (GB) (Kingman {GB}), dubbed a 'TDN Rising Star' on the back of an five-length maiden win at first asking, has been ruled out for the season after suffering an injury. The margin was one length in the Coventry at Royal Ascot on June 19 for the Juddmonte homebred. That triumph saw him promoted to ante-post favouritism for next year's G1 2000 Guineas back at headquarters, but John Gosden's charge will not be seen again in 2018.
Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner-breeder Khalid Abdullah, said in a statement to Press Association Sport, “Calyx has had a setback in training which will rule him out from running for the rest of this season. He is expected to make a full recovery and we will look forward to his 3-year-old year.”
