Twain and Dreamy, two of Aidan O’Brien’s potential Classic performers through the winter months, have been ruled out until the second half of the season.
A son of Wootton Bassett, Twain has only had two runs – both within eight days of each other last year – yet he was able to win a Group One in France on just his second start.
He beat his stable companion Mount Kilimanjaro in the Criterium International who has won the Dee Stakes at Chester subsequently.
Twain became something of a gamble for the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket when it became apparent that winter favourite The Lion In Winter was struggling to be ready in time.
However, just days before the race he was ruled out of it by a dirty scope and it was announced if he was ready he would be supplemented for the Irish Guineas. The confirmations for that came and went on Tuesday, though, and his name did not appear.
O’Brien told the PA news agency: “He hasn’t been supplemented for the Guineas.
“It’s the same issue he had before Newmarket, he’s still not 100 per cent.
“I don’t think he’ll make it to Ascot now if he hasn’t made it this weekend, we’ll probably give him a little bit more time now.”
Dreamy landed a Group Three prize at the Curragh in August last year
Dreamy, owned by the Niarchos family’s Flaxman Stables in partnership with Coolmore, is a filly by American Pharoah out of Tapestry, O’Brien’s Yorkshire Oaks winner.
She won a Goodwood maiden on her debut and a Group Three at the Curragh afterwards but was only fourth to Desert Flower in the Fillies’ Mile.
O’Brien expected her to come into her own over middle distances this season, but plans are now on the back burner until the second half of the campaign.
“Dreamy will miss the first half of the season,” said O’Brien.
“Hopefully she’ll be back in the autumn when there’ll be some nice races for her.

Finalistka Wimbledonu pod palbou. Co jsi to provedla? Počkej, až přijedeš k nám, varuje italská hvězda
„Dala bych si těstoviny s jahodami a jogurtem,“ říkala v jednom z pozápasových rozhovorů ve Wimbledonu nasazená osmička, jejímž dosavadním maximem v All England Clubu bylo předloňské čtvrtfinále.„Děti u nás v létě jedí tohle jídlo běžně,“ líčila čtyřiadvacetiletá rodačka z Varšavy, kterou čeká v sobotním singlovém finále Američanka Anisimovová, jež s reakcí příliš neotálela: „Pasta s čím?“ ptala se nevěřícně osmifinálová přemožitelka Lindy Noskové. „Nechápu, v čem je problém. Každý by si měl dát tohle jídlo. Kombinace chutí je skvělá,“ vyprávěla Šwiateková.Na Italy, kteří jsou na svou gastronomii náležitě hrdí, slova Šwiatekové zapůsobila jako hadr na býka. „Včera jsem ji potkal a říkal jí: ‚Co jsi to provedla? Teď bude každý chtít jahody s těstovinami!‘“ přiznal v rozhovoru pro Tennis Channel Flavio Cobolli, jenž ve Wimbledonu dokráčel až do čtvrtfinále, v němž podlehl Novaku Djokovičovi.„Vážně bych nechtěl být v její kůži. Přeji jí hodně štěstí, až přijede k nám do Itálie,“ dodal třiadvacetiletý Ital. „Radši bych snědl pizzu […]
Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski added to National League All-Star roster after just five starts
Getty Images The finishing touches are being put on the American and National League All-Star Game rosters in advance of Tuesday's big event at Truist Park. While the standard rosters have already been voted on and hand-picked, changes are still happening as players opt-out and pitchers don't line up to be available. As it turns out, one of the most surprising All-Star selections turned out to be one of the last All-Star selections. The choice of Milwaukee Brewers 23-year-old rookie right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, who replaces Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd on the list of available pitchers, isn't surprising on the statistical merits. After all, he's pitched to a 2.81 ERA/145 ERA+, and he's struck out 33.6% of opposing batters. Rather, it's surprising because Misiorowski earned the nod after pitching in just five games in the majors this season and working just […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Reaches the 1,000-hit Mark In His 911th MLB Game
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached the 1,000-hit mark on Friday night during the fifth inning of the Toronto Blue Jays game against the Athletics. Guerrero's achievement came on a single into center field. He then stole second base, and scored when Alejandro Kirk hit a single two batters later. It took Guerrero 911 games to achieve 1,000 hits. He's slashing .276/.382/.438 during his seventh MLB season, and earned himself a selection as the American League's starting first baseman in the 2025 All-Star Game. Guerrero, 26, has had an impressive career to this point as he's slashed .287/.382/.438. He also signed a massive 14-year, $500 million extension prior to the 2025 season. It's the richest deal in Blue Jays history, and now Guerrero has become the 10th player in franchise history to reach the 1,000-hit mark. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
