Guineas hero retired to stud

by Anita Chambers

COOLMORE have announced the retirement of UltimatePoker.com 2,000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand due to a foot problem.

The Giant's Causeway colt is set to stand in Australia after connections decided to call time on his three-race career.

A statement on www.coolmore.com said: "A niggling problem with the foot he bruised on the very fast ground at Newmarket has forced Footstepsinthesand's premature retirement.

"Although nothing major, the injury requires rest, which would rule himout of the summer's major mile events."

Useful miler Antonius Pius has also been retired to Coolmore's Australian outfit after disappointing when last in the Golden Jubilee Stakes at the Royal meeting last week.

Footstepsinthesand stamped himself a likely Classic contender when winning the Group 3 Kilavullan Stakes as a two-year-old, and he was a well-fancied 13-2 shot in the Guineas.

His one-and-a-quarter-length win over Rebel Rebel at Newmarket was a first major win for the high-profile partnership of trainer Aidan O'Brien and jockey Kieren Fallon.

It had been hoped that he would follow up in the Irish equivalent, but his foot injury ruled him out, leaving the way clear for Godolphin's Dubawi, who could only manage fifth behind Footstepsinthesand at Newmarket.

Antonius Pius was more famed for his sometimes-quirky antics on the track rather than any big-race successes, but he was nevertheless a talented performer.

The Danzig colt may well have won last year's French 2,000 Guineas had he not swerved into the rails in the final furlong, while he was a narrow runner-up to Singletary in the Breeders' Cup Mile.

Antonius Pius had two starts this season, finishing last of eight in the Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes before his below-par effort at York.
