Fiona Carmichael's Carmers (Wootton Bassett) will not be seen again this season, trainer Paddy Twomey revealed.
Undefeated in his first three starts including the Listed Yeats Stakes at Navan in May and the G2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot, the colt ran second in the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes in August. Tried in the G1 St Leger, Carmers was fifth to Scandinavia (Justify) at Doncaster this month.
“He's in good form and came out of it well, but won't do anything else this year,” said Twomey. “He's an exciting horse for staying races in the future.”
The trainer also had an update on two of his Arc weekend team in Wathnan Racing's One Look (Gleneagles), who is headed for the G1 Prix de l'Opera, and La Isla Mujeres (Lope De Vega). The former won the G3 Meadow Court Stakes in July and was second in the G2 Blandford Stakes this month. The latter, owned by Moyglare Stud, is coming off a win in the Listed Oyster Stakes at Galway. She is bound for the G1 Prix de Royallieu on October 4.
Twomey added, “One Look will go for the Prix de l'Opera next Sunday. She's in great form and came out of her last run at the Curragh very well. La Isla Mujeres is going to go for the Royallieu next Saturday, so we are taking two to France.”
