Glamour Puss Retired Australian sprinter Glamour Puss has been retired to the paddocks after a lacklustre gallop on Monday.The six-year-old mare was a notable absentee from the final field for tomorrow's Darley July Cup and trainer Danny O'Brien explained that it was always the plan for her to have her last races in England.'I wasn't fully convinced she was ready to be super-competitive in such a tough Group One. She's been great for us so we didn't feel the need to stretch the envelope with her, so she's off to stud,' said O'Brien.After finishing a close seventh in the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot over five furlongs, she was then only tenth in the Golden Jubilee four days later.'It was always the plan to retire her after the trip to Britain, these were always going to be her last runs,' O'Brien told the Racing Post.'She had a pretty hard time at Ascot ? I was happy with her on the Tuesday but it was tough running her again four days later. We'll be back with something else.'Glamour Puss will return to Australia to be covered by leading sire Redoute's Choice.? PA Sport
