Tariq Stays In Training

Dual Group-race winner Tariq may not run again this season but is to stay in training as a four-year-old.

The Kyllachy colt failed to complete a four-timer when only fifth in the Prix de la Foret at Longchamp on Saturday on ground that was probably too soft for him.

Connections have all but ruled out a crack at the Breeders' Cup Mile at Monmouth Park later this month and are thinking more of the Dubai Spring Carnival.

'He's come out of Saturday as though he hadn't had a race,' said Tony Nerses, racing manager to owners Saleh Al Homeizi and Imad Al Sagar. 'As far as the Breeders' Cup Mile is concerned, I think it will come too soon for him.

'He will stay in training next year and he may go to Dubai for the mile race, that's a possibility.'
