Speedy Romantic Proposal to miss Breeders' Cup

Romantic Proposal will not be heading to the Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland next weekend but connections may still get to travel with her before the end of the year.

“She's not going to the Breeders' Cup, we are going to wait and hopefully go to Hong Kong,” said trainer Eddie Lynam at Dundalk this evening.

He added, “We just didn't think she was 100 per cent, we didn't enter her actually."

The Clipper Logistics-owned mare enjoyed her finest hour at the Curragh last year when landing the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes on Irish Champions Weekend.

The daughter of Raven’s Pass got this season off to a winning start with an impressive performance in the Listed Woodlands Stakes at Naas but things haven’t gone to plan since, failing to show her best in two subsequent outings.
