Trainer George Boughey has announced the shock retirement of unbeaten superstar colt Bow Echo due to injury, cutting short a glittering career that included victories in the 2,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes.
Billy Loughnane, 20, rode Bow Echo to a thrilling win in the Sussex Stakes, marking the horse's 6th consecutive victory and the first 'milers' triple crown since Frankel. Bow Echo may next compete in France or the US.
Bow Echo, ridden by Billy Loughnane and trained by George Boughey, narrowly won the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, remaining unbeaten. The race featured early scrimmaging, leading to a jockey suspension, and a close finish with Gstaad.
