Pour Moi (人人為我) retired to stud following serious injury

By Cyrus Dailami 3:17PM 27 AUG 2011

POUR MOI, ante-post favourite for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, will not race again and is to be retired to Coolmore for the 2012 breeding season, the stud announced on Saturday.

The spectacular Derby winner suffered a severe overreach to his near-fore fetlock during exercise at Chantilly on Thursday, Coolmore said on their Twitter account.Rumours had circulated about Pour Moi's wellbeing since Friday night and on Saturday morning leading bookmakers began to remove him from their betting on the end-of-season Longchamp showpiece.

Pour Moi's trainer Andre Fabre: "One of the best I have had"

Pour Moi's trainer, Andre Fabre, said on Saturday: "As we saw inhis last two races, he had the most fantastic turn of foot. Obviously he was one of the best I have had."So You Think, Workforce, Nathaniel and Sarafina were among horses at the head of the market for the Arc as layers removed Pour Moi from their lists, but no clear favourite has yet emerged.

Jockey Mickael Barzalona, who rode Pour Moi for four of his five starts and for all three of his wins, said: "It's a big disappointment and very unfortunate, but I wish him well in his retirement. I don't know what else to say, it's very bad news.

"He gave me my biggest moment, and there could have been more to come, but I was thrilled to have been part of such a big event, and I will have great memories of him."
