Injury related but there was no chance of him staying in training as a four year old anyway so connections probably thought why risk anything worse, and as mentioned in previous posts the breeding rights are worth tens of millions. His legacy will be affected somewhat by having never raced against the older horses.
The King George takes place at Ascot on Saturday. For many years one of the highlights of the flat season it's standing has diminished recently as 12F races have lost their ''Stallion Making'' importance in preference for shorter distances. It's not been helped here by Enable and Derby winner Masar's injuries, plus Cracksman likely skipping it due to the ground being too fast unless the monsoons come. Then next week comes Goodwood (don't really care for it much) and in late August The Ebor at York (favourite of the big flat meets). Hopefully a pretty drab flat season to date starts to picks up.
