Connections retire Rebel after training injury by Keith Hamer and Anita Chambers DUAL 2,000 Guineas winner Cockney Rebel has been retired after suffering a training setback. Plans to run the colt in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes later this month have been scrapped. He had been working towards the Ascot showpiece after recovering from a fractured pelvis sustained in the St James's Palace Stakes at the Royal meeting. But trainer Geoff Huffer told At The Races: "He was cantering this morning and a piece of paper flew across the canter at the end and his hind leg hit his near-fore on the tendon. "He pulled up sound and went back to the yard. "There was a slight bump there and I called in the vet to have a look. He scanned it and there is a slight injury there that would take three months or so to heal. I called his owner Phil Cunningham and I have just been over to see him. We have decided to retire him."

French derby hero to retire by Desmond Stoneham . JOCKEY Olivier Peslier and trainer Jean-Marie Beguigne on Friday paid tribute to Prix du Jockey-Club winner Lawman, who has been retired to stand at stud in Ireland. The son of Invincible Spirit gained a famous success in the French Derby under Frankie Dettori, completing a fantastic weekend for the rider who had won at Epsom on Authorized the previous afternoon. Dettori was in the saddle at Chantilly only because regular rider Peslier was claimed by the Wertheimer brothers, but the Frenchman was back in the saddle when Lawman completed back-to-back Group 1 wins by thrashing a useful field over 1m in the Prix Jean Prat. “He was a very good racehorse who improved with every outing,” said the rider. “He was a tough individual with anoutstanding turn of foot and you could employ all kinds of tactics on him.” Lawman's final race was a disappointment, however, as he ran well below form behind Manduro in the Prix Jacques Le Marois, after which he was found to be suffering from a minor liver problem. Now he has been purchased by Ballylinch Stud and will be syndicated to enter stud next year. “Lawman was the best colt I've ever trained,” said Beguigne. “I am very sad to lose him at such an early stage in his career.” Kieren Fallon also had a bit part in the Lawman story, as he rode the colt when he made a winning debut at Saint-Cloud. As he jumped Lawman, he told Beguigne: “You will win a French derby with this horse!”
