Sacred Aspect is still recovering from a career-ending injury sustained at the Curragh last month.

The grey daughter of Haatef won twice in five races, and peaked with a Listed victory in the Tipperary Stakes.

Ken Condon's smart juvenile was last seen finishing fifth of sixth to Tapestry in the Group Two Debutante Stakes on August 11.

Condon said: "She hurt herself in the last furlong (in the Debutante) and fractured a pastern.

"She's still in hospital now and won't race again, unfortunately.

"It's a very similar injury to the one St Nicholas Abbey got.

"Hopefully she can be saved for breeding purposes. It's a big pity as she was a cracking horse."
