RULING COURT DIES

29 Aug 2025 15:43

Ruling Court, winner of the 2000 Guineas earlier in the season, has been euthanised following complications due to laminitis, Godolphin have announced

Trained by Charlie Appleby, the Justify colt formed one half of a memorable Guineas weekend for Moulton Paddocks in May, as he saw off top-class rival Field of Gold to scoop Classic honours 24 hours before stablemate Desert Flower repeated the dose in the 1000 Guineas.

A tilt at the Derby was scuppered by soft ground on the day at Epsom, but Ruling Court went on to finish third in both the St James’ Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and a high-class renewal of the Coral-Eclipse – a run which would be the final outing of a six-race career that also saw him win the Jumeirah 2000 Guineas at Meydan in March.
