Godolphin’s Superlative Stakes winner Ancient Truth has met with a setback which will rule him out of the Betfred 2000 Guineas.
Trained by Charlie Appleby, the Dubawi colt beat Seagulls Eleven and Wimbledon Hawkeye in the Newmarket Group Two, with both placed horses going on to frank the form.
He then lined up in the Dewhurst on his final outing and put up a huge performance to be beaten by only a couple of necks in the generation defining race by stablemate Shadow Of Light and Aidan O’Brien’s Expanded.
Ancient Truth had been as low as 7-1 for the opening Classic on May 3, but he will now miss the race.
In an update posted on X, Godolphin said: “Ancient Truth will no longer be aimed at the 2000 Guineas due to a setback. He will be kept under veterinary supervision and a plan will be made for him for later in the season.”
