Gerri Colombe turned off the season after he suffered failure, coach Gordon Elliott reveals | Racing news

Gordon Elliott was forced to rule his star by remains the persecutor Gerri Colombe until the end of the season.

Last year’s winner of Cheltenham Gold Cup and winner of Aintree Bowl was not seen from disappointment after re-appearing in Down Royal in early November, when he only finished third place behind Ecoi Allen to win Ladbrokes Potjera in his offer to win the Ladbrokes Championship.

Since then, he has missed several possible engagement, with Elliott saying that he was not 100 percent pleased with the nine -year -old, but that he hoped he would return him to the concert field for the main festivals in the spring.

However, these hopes were rejected after Robcoura’s gelding suffered failure, which means that he will not return by the fall earlier.

In a statement posted on his website, Elliott said: “Unfortunately, Gerri Colombe has encountered failure, which means that he will no longer run again.

“No career or particularly serious, but it comes at the wrong time of the season, so we will have to rule it from the spring festivals.

“It’s a big blow for yourself and a Robcour team, but we will focus on correcting it for the next season when we hope that all the road will be taken to the Golden Cup.”
