Hardwicke Stakes runner-up Nagano Gold will possess the Group Two as a goal after signing off to the campaign using an tilt at the Prix de lArc de Triomphe.
The five-year-old, whos trained in the Czech Republic, put up a great performance when moving down at the Royal meeting.
He was not able to repeat that effort in conditions that are sticky at ParisLongchamp on Sunday and had to settle for eighth position supporting Waldgeist.
The Sixties Icon whole is very likely to be put away for the winter, but will race year.
The horse will be OK after the race. It was not a simple race for him. Probably the floor was too soft , said Tomas Janda, racing manager to owner-trainer Vaclav Juka Jr..
Wed expect for a better place, however, the jockey confirmed the floor has been too much for him.
Hell probably not operate again this season. He stays in practice and so well make plans for next year, although Theres absolutely no race for him.
The Hardwicke Stakes is very probable. Ascot suits him. Its a good race, it had been everything, great feeling.
We all really enjoyed it, so that I could imagine there is a very higher likelihood he will come back for that race. He was somewhat unlucky not to win this season.
That is the likely race. Hell stay somewhat further, up to two miles possibly, but the Gold Cup is an extreme space.
I think Ascot is probable for next season, with him also running in France and possibly attempting one or two races in England. There are options.
