Godolphin's Ancient Truth (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who was ruled out of G1 2000 Guineas contention with a setback earlier this week, has succumbed to the injury, Godolphin posted on X on Thursday.
The G2 Superlative Stakes hero and three-time winner last ran third in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes. He won a Newmarket novice in his debut last May good for a 'TDN Rising Star' badge, and added a similar affair in June, prior to his Superlative victory.
“Promising three-year-old Ancient Truth sustained a serious injury earlier this week and, despite veterinary intervention, could not be saved,” Godolphin said in a statement. “It's very sad news for everyone at Godolphin.”
The homebred was out of the G2 Prix du Calvados and G3 Prix Six Perfections heroine Beyond Reason (Ire) (Australia {GB}), herself a daughter of GIII Gallorette Handicap winner No Explaining (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}).
