Librettist, Proclamation come up lame

Godolphin runners LIBRETTIST (Danzig) and PROCLAMATION (King's Best)

were reported to be lame following their disappointing efforts in

Saturday's Queen Elizabeth II S. (Eng-G1). Racing Manager Simon Crisford revealed to

the Racing Post that plans are now up in the air for both last year's Sussex

S. (Eng-G1) winner Proclamation, who was fifth behind George Washington (Danehill), and Prix

Jacques le Marois (Fr-G1)/Prix du Moulin (Fr-G1) hero Librettist, who checked in

sixth.

"Both

horses are lame in front, so it is a question of monitoring their progress in

the next few days," Crisford told the Racing Post. "Everything is on hold. Proclamation

was disappointing and never looked like he had any finishing kick in him.

Librettist didn't run anything like as well as he can run."

With two of the

stable's top runners currently sidelined, Godolphin will be without

representation in Britain's last two Group 1 races of the season for older

horses.

"I don't think

we will have anything in the Champion S. (Eng-G1) or the Sun Chariot S. (Eng-G1)," Crisford said.
