Lady Jane Cecil failed to bow out on a winner as Western Reserve could finish only fourth at Woodbine in Canada on Sunday evening.

The three-year-old lined up in the Grade Two Autumn Stakes but despite holding every chance in the final furlong, he found winner Are You Kidding Me two and a quarter lengths too good.

Lady Cecil began her training career when she took over from her late husband Sir Henry following his death in June 2013.

However, despite training for less than three years, she retires with a handful of big-race wins to her name including the 2013 Ribblesdale Stakes with Riposte, the 2013 Hardwicke Stakes with Thomas Chippendale and last year's Qipco Champion Stakes with Noble Mission.
