Distant Misses York Date

Distant Way will not follow in the hoofprints of compatriot Electrocutionist by attempting to win the Juddmonte International at York.

Italy struck gold in the Group One when the former Valfredo Valiani charge, who later switched to Godolphin but died as a five-year-old, stormed to a neck verdict two years ago.

Distant Way, trained by Lorenzo Brogi, holds an entry in this year's renewal having won the Premio Presidente della Repubblica at Capannelle for a second time on his last start.

Although Coral quote the six-year-old entire as a 14-1 chance for the International, his trainer has since ruled out a trip to the Knavesmire on August 21.

Brogi said: 'Unfortunately, Distant Way doesn't run at York.'
