One-time Classic contender Passenger retired
The son of Ulysses won at Group Two level in the Huxley Stakes at Chester last season and the Group Three Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor the previous season while in the care of Sir Michael Stoute. He was switched to George Scott's operation following Stoute's retirement but never saw a racecourse for the Newmarket handler before the decision was taken to call time on his career. Passenger's last run was a third-place finish last July in the York Stakes and Scott said: 'Passenger won't race again. I'm happy to say now he won't see a racecourse. 'We got a really good body of work into him, we just felt he lacked that slight bit of edge to go back to racing so we decided to retire him and find him a happy home. 'He retires from racing in great shape.' The five-year bows out having won three of his six starts, with his only below-par run being in the Derby, where he was 12th of the 14 starters behind Auguste Rodin.
