Prix du Jockey Club winner Camille Pissarro has been retired due to an injury sustained while running in the Coral-Eclipse.
Trained by Aidan O’Brien, the Wootton Bassett colt also won at the highest level as a juvenile when taking the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere by a neck from Rashabar.
Third to stablemate Henri Matisse in the French 2000 Guineas, the step up in trip suited him in the French Derby and stud plans will be announced shortly.
O’Brien told Coolmore: “Camille Pissarro pulled a shoe at Sandown and was quite sore afterwards.
“We had him X-rayed, and a fissure fracture was found in his fetlock. The decision was then made to retire him.
“Camille Pissarro was an extremely classy colt; he had speed and class. He won the Lagardere on Arc weekend last year at two, and then he showed everyone how good he was in the French Derby. He was very classy.”
