Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's Triple Time (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), a listed winner at Haydock last September, has sustained a setback and is no longer under consideration for the Apr. 30 G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. The colt ran third and second in a Leicester maiden and Haydock novice on June 1 and July 1 last year, respectively. He then graduated at the latter course going a mile in soft going on Aug. 6, prior to running out a 1 1/2-length winner of the Listed Ascendant S. at Haydock on Sept. 4. Triple Time pleased trainer Kevin Ryan in a Newmarket gallop earlier this week.
Ryan tweeted on Friday morning, “Unfortunately we have to say that Triple Time has met with a small setback which rules him out of the 2000 Guineas. It is a long season ahead and we will look forward to seeing him back in action.”
