Godolphin’s Epsom Derby contender Arabian Crown has been ruled out due to a setback.
The Dubawi colt ended his juvenile campaign with an emphatic success over ten furlongs in the Group 3 Zetland Stakes and made a triumphant return in the Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown in April. He made all under William Buick, pulling clear to score by three-and-a-quarter lengths and firmly established himself as second-favourite for the Derby behind City Of Troy.
In a statement on X, Godolphin said: "Unfortunately Arabian Crown will miss the @EpsomRacecourse Derby due to a setback. He will now be aimed at a late summer campaign."
