Re: Horse Racing
Lightening bows out.

Last year's Cheveley Park Stakes winner Lightening Pearl has been retired to the paddocks.
The filly gave trainer Ger Lyons and owner Sheikh Fahad their first Group One success but after disappointing at Leopardstown on Thursday night, the decision has been taken to draw stumps on her career.
"She hasn't been giving us the vibes this year, which I was afraid of as her mum and her sister didn't train on," said Lyons.

Minidress added to Ribblesdale.

Godolphin have supplemented Minidress into the field for the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot on Thursday.
A total of 22 fillies are now possible for the Group Two event with Mahmood Al Zarooni's charge added at the latest stage. Stablemate Kailani, seventh in the Investec Oaks, is also a possible.
The Fugue, considered by many to be an unlucky loser in the Classic when third, could bid for compensation, while William Haggas' Vow, fourth at Epsom, has stood her ground.
