Multidimensional ruled out

Multidimensional will be sidelined until September after suffering a setback.

The four-year-old put trainer Henry Cecil back in the limelight last season, giving him his first Pattern-race success since 2002 when lifting the Prix Guillaume d’Ornano at Deauville.

Cecil had high hopes of the Danehill colt building on that performance this term but his campaign has already been cut short.

“Multidimensional was cantering on the Polytrack when sustaining a hairline pelvic fracture – there was no displacement, but unfortunately it has put him back until September,” Cecil told the Racing Post.

“It’s disappointing as he was one of the main hopes for the season and it was intended he would go for races like the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, Eclipse and Juddmonte International.

“He is sound, but we will have to give him some time off and we hope to give him one run in September before going for the Champion Stakes at Newmarket.”
