Default Brilliant miler Canford Cliffs retired to stud
From the Racing Post - CANFORD CLIFFS has been retired to stud after suffering a leg injury when chasing home Frankel in last week's Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

The star miler suffered a near-fore pastern injury at Goodwood and was retired on veterinary advice. He'll stand at Coolmore.

Not that anyone was speculating that something was very wrong toward the end of that race...

No way.

I'm shocked.

Where in the race did that injury happen?

This means that with an injured leg, Canford Cliffs ran a huge second in one of the all time greatest miles ever run, which possibly makes him more impressive than the greatest miler of all time.

Personally, I thought when he lugged out it was just a matter of CC spitting the bit because he had his heart ripped out by the all mighty Frankel.
