POWER RETIRED TO STUD

Aidan O'Brien's Irish 2000 Guineas winner Power has been retired to stand at Coolmore Stud.
After a prolific juvenile season which saw him win the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and the National Stakes at the Curragh, he was strongly fancied for the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, but he beat just one home there.

ABBAYE CONCERNS FOR SOLE TEAM
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Eddie Lynam fears things could have conspired against Sole Power ahead of his bid for glory in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp on Sunday.
The five-year-old has been one of the most consistent top-class sprinters in training since his 100-1 victory in the Nunthorpe Stakes at York a couple of years ago, but has found victories difficult to come by.
He gained a deserved return to the winner's enclosure when stamping his class on a Listed race at Doncaster last month, but his trainer's enthusiasm has been tempered by the soft conditions in prospect in Paris and an unfavourable high draw.
