Kew Gardens (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will miss the chance to renew his rivalry with Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) after being removed from consideration for the June 18 G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. A tweet from Ballydoyle on Friday morning read, “We weren't 100% happy with Kew Gardens this morning and he will not be entered in the Ascot Gold Cup.”
The winner of the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and G1 St Leger at three, Kew Gardens was runner-up in the G1 Coronation Cup and G1 Irish St Leger last year before denying Stradivarius by a nose in the G2 Long Distance Cup on British Champions Day at Ascot.
