Blue Bunting has been retired to stud and will be bred to top Darley stallion Street Cry.
Godolphin’s leading performer of 2011 sustained a leg injury when being prepared to run during the Dubai World Cup Carnival at Meydan where her first major target of 2012 was going to be the US$5-million Dubai Sheema Classic on March 31.
Veterinary tests have revealed that she would require a long time off before being able to return to training.
Simon Crisford, the Godolphin racing manager, explained: “Because Blue Bunting would have needed a long period of recuperation before coming back into training, the decision has been made to retire her to stud for an early covering
“It is a pity Blue Bunting will not have the chance again to show what a brilliant racehorse she was but we look forward to her becoming a great success at stud.
