Minding Out Until Autumn

Minding (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), last year's Cartier Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old filly, has been sidelined until the autumn after meeting with a setback, trainer Aidan O'Brien told Racing Post. Minding, who won the G1 Moyglare Stud S. and G1 Dubai Fillies' Mile at two, collected five Group 1s last year, including the G1 Qipco 1000 Guineas and G1 Investec Oaks. She won the G2 Mooresbridge S. on return on May 17 and was slated to run in Sunday's G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh.

“Unfortunately, Minding has had a setback and won't be running in the Tattersalls Gold Cup,” O'Brien told Racing Post on Friday morning. “She will also miss Royal Ascot and won't be running again for a few months. We're now looking at an autumn campaign for her.”
