Sussex Stakes winner Mohaather has been retired after picking up "significant bone bruising" in his near hind fetlock, connections have announced. Trained by Marcus Tregoning, the Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned colt came out on top in this year's stellar renewal of the Group One feature at Glorious Goodwood - where he had Circus Maximus, Siskin and Kameko immediately behind him. Sheikh Hamdan's racing manager Angus Gold said in a statement to the PA news agency: "Towards the end of last week it was noticed that Mohaather was not moving as well as he had been immediately after the Sussex Stakes...                      Andrew Nelis Racing 

Mohaather demonstrated a devastating turn of foot to win a stellar renewal of the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. Trained by Marcus Tregoning and ridden by Jim Crowley, the four-year-old endured a luckless run in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot - but righted the record as an impressive victor in a top-class running of the Group One showpiece. Queen Anne winner Circus Maximus set out to make all under Ryan Moore and the field was closely bunched with two furlongs to run as the leader tried to press on, with San Donato the first to make his bid and briefly looking as though he could be set to produce a shock...                        Andrew Nelis Racing .

Marcus Tregoning is under no illusions as to the calibre of opposition Mohaather is set to tackle at Goodwood next week. The Qatar Sussex Stakes is shaping up to be one of the races of the season, with British and Irish 2000 Guineas winners Kameko and Siskin set to face off over a mile on the Downs, and unbeaten dual Group One winner Earthlight another possible challenger for the Classic generation. The older horse division is also set to be more than well represented, with Queen Anne winner Circus Maximus a likely contender along with Tregoning’s Mohaather, who had a luckless passage behind that rival at the Royal meeting but has since returned to Ascot to claim a bloodless victory in the Summer Mile. Siskin's trainer Ger Lyons has already singled out Mohaather as his biggest concern on Tuesday - and Tregoning certainly reciprocates that healthy respect.                        Andrew Nelis Racing 

Mohaather bids to consign his luckless run at Royal Ascot to the history books with victory in Saturday's Betfred Summer Mile. Marcus Tregoning's stable star was considered a leading contender for the first Group One of the week at the Berkshire circuit last month, but ended up all dressed up with nowhere to go - finishing almost full of running in seventh place. The Derby-winning trainer is hoping for compensation back at Ascot this weekend.                       Andrew Nelis Racing
