Royal Ascot Winner Create Belief Retired

RacehorseClub's Create Belief (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), the winner of last year's Sandringham S. at Royal Ascot and the G3 Desmond S. at Leopardstown, has been retired from racing and will go to Tweenhills Stud to begin her broodmare career.

RacehorseClub Ambassador Freddy Tylicki said of the 4-year-old Create Belief, “She came back into training with Johnny Murtagh before the new year but, unfortunately, she's since picked up a career-ending injury. She gave RacehorseClub our first-ever winner at The Curragh in a premier handicap in May before winning the Sandringham S. at Royal Ascot, just over three months after launching. She will now go to Tweenhills and a decision will be made as to which stallion she will be covered by.”

Murtagh added, “It's very disappointing that Create Belief has had to be retired but listening to veterinary advice and speaking to the team at RacehorseClub, unfortunately this decision had to be made in the best interest of Create Belief. She will always be a special racehorse to me as she was my first Royal Ascot winner as a trainer and she gave RacehorseClub members three amazing days last summer winning at The Curragh, Royal Ascot and Leopardstown. I'm sure she will be a hugely successful broodmare as her attitude both on and off the racecourse was fantastic, and I look forward to seeing her offspring in the future.”
