Aidan O'Brien star forced to retire two months after winning €1.5million race
Camille Pissarro, the winner of Prix du Jockey Club, has been retired due to an injury he picked up during the Coral-Eclipse. The colt, trained by Aidan O'Brien and sired by Wootton Bassett, also claimed victory at the highest level as a two year old, narrowly winning the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere against Rashabar. After finishing third to his stablemate Henri Matisse in the French 2000 Guineas, the increase in distance proved beneficial for him in the €1.5million French Derby back in June. The three-year-old was quite sore after pulling a shoe at Sandown during the Eclipse early last month. Plans for his stud career will be revealed soon. O'Brien informed Coolmore: "Camille Pissarro pulled a shoe at Sandown and was quite sore afterwards. "We had him X-rayed, and a fissure fracture was found in his fetlock. The decision was then made to retire him. "Camille Pissarro was an extremely classy colt; he had speed and class. He won the Lagardere on Arc weekend last year at two, and then he showed everyone how good he was in the French Derby. He was very classy."
