THE racing career of 2014 St Leger heroine Roxholme Dream is over after Hayley Keightley’s bitch dropped a gracilis muscle in a pre-Oaks trial before racing at Belle Vue on Saturday.

A gallant third last Tuesday behind Fizzypop Buddy when attempting to retain her Leger title at Wimbledon, the April 2012 bitch was beaten 12 lengths by Burnfoot Rumble over 470m at the Manchester track.

“The Oaks was going to be her swansong anyway,” said trainer’s husband Mark yesterday. “She’d run so well for 550m at Wimbledon but not got home that we thought we’d give it a go, and she’d have been a good back-up to Forest Twilight too.

“Sadly that won’t be the case now and it was annoying that she was in a three-runner trial meaning they couldn’t stop the hare as Hayley thought the gracilis went quite quickly.”
