G1 WINNER RETIRED

10 May 2022 13:47


 

Top-class sprinter Dream Of Dreams has been retired from racing.
The eight-year-old won nine of his 31 races and nearly £1 million during his career, largely for Sir Michael Stoute and owner Saeed Suhail, but he will not now be enjoying a second career as a stallion as he is a gelding.

Although he was renowned for his exploits with Stoute, including winning the Group 1 Haydock Park Sprint Cup in 2020, Dream Of Dreams started out with Kevin Ryan in 2016 before being bought privately by Suhail after his debut second at Newmarket in April of that year.

The son of Dream Ahead switched to Stoute the following year, for whom he was twice beaten by a head in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, until finally going one better in what was his final outing in the six-furlong contest at year ago.
