Epsom Derby winner retired Epsom Derby winner Pour Moi has been retired to stud by connections. A statement from owners Coolmore Stud read: "Epsom Derby winner Pour Moi suffered a severe overreach to his near fore fetlock during exercise at Chantilly on Friday morning. He will not race again and will retire to Coolmore for the 2012 breeding season." Andre Fabre's charge had been favourite for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe but was a huge drifter on the exchanges on Saturday morning. He had touched 100-1 on Betfair by lunchtime and been removed by most fixed-odds firms in their betting for the Longchamp showpiece when confirmation of the setback came through. The son of Montjeu was a remarkable winner of the Epsom Classic, coming from last-to-first under Mickael Barzalona. Fabre paid tribute to his first winner of the Epsom Classic, saying: "What he did at Epsom was amazing, to go from last to first. For a horse to get there so easily, the turn of foot he showed was a sign of great ability. "When a horse comes from behind, they are sometimes difficult to rate, but the way he accelerated in the Greffulhe was good and in the Derby it was amazing. "I have never trained a middle-distance horse that had such acceleration." Of the injury, Fabre went on: "He badly over-reached himself on his off-fore and I'm afraid he won't run again. It's difficult to mend. It happened two days ago and when it was scanned you could see what the damage was. It was deeper than we thought. "I'm sure he will be a super sire. He's a beautiful, well-bred colt with a fantastic action and a change of pace."
