Hardwicke Stakes runner-up Nagano Gold will possess the Group Two after registering for the campaign with an ineffective tilt at the Prix de Triomphe as a target.
Set up despite being badly hampered at the beginning when moving down by half a period to Group One winner Defoe at the Royal meeting.
He was unable to repeat that effort from states that are sticky at ParisLongchamp on Sunday and had to settle for eighth position supporting Waldgeist.
The Sixties Icon whole is likely to be put away for winter, but will race on year.
The horse is OK after the race. It wasnt an easy race . Possibly the ground has been too soft for him, said Tomas Janda, racing manager to owner-trainer Vaclav Juka Jr..
We did expect for a better place, however, the jockey affirmed the floor has been too much to him.
Hell likely not operate again this year. He stays in practice and so we will make plans for next year, although Theres absolutely no race .
The Hardwicke Stakes is very likely. Ascot suits him. Its a race that is fantastic, it had been everything, great setting.
We all really enjoyed it, so that I could imagine theres a really higher likelihood that he is going to come back for this race. He was somewhat unfortunate not to win.
Thats the possible race. The Gold Cup is still an extreme distance, although he will stay maybe.
I believe Ascot is probable for next year, with him running in France and maybe attempting one or two races in England. There are choices.
