Coolmore have announced Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Lake Victoria<\/a> will not run at Royal Ascot next week.<\/p>\n

Lake Victoria had been a warm favourite for the Coronation Stakes at the royal meeting at a general 5-6 on Monday morning, but the daughter of Frankel was a notable drifter out to 6-1 heading into Monday lunchtime.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Coolmore said: “Lake Victoria will not run at Royal Ascot. She will have an easy few weeks and will return for a late summer\/autumn campaign.”<\/p>\n

Lake Victoria won all five of her starts as a two-year-old last year, three of which came at the top level, but she suffered a first defeat when a disappointing sixth of ten on her seasonal reappearance in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket last month.<\/p>\n

However, she returned to her brilliant best in the Irish equivalent later that month when defeating California Dreamer by two and a quarter lengths.<\/p>\n

Zarigana, who was promoted to first in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches after interference caused by Shes Perfect, is now evens favourite with bet365.<\/p>\n

Coolmore also confirmed Oaks winner Minnie Hauk<\/a> would be aimed at the Irish Oaks<\/a> on July 19 next, while Epsom runner-up Whirl<\/a> will target the Pretty Polly Stakes<\/a> on June 28.<\/p>\n
