Talented mare Capella won't race again this season.
She is on an extended break after suffering an injury when a last-start fifth in the group two Rich Hill Mile at Ellerslie.
"It was a slight fetlock strain and we didn't think it was worth pushing on with her," trainer Danica Guy said.
"She's going to have a long break, the first one she's really ever had. It won't do her any harm and we'll get her back for the spring."
Capella showed her quality last season with victory in the Eight Carat Classic and she also finished third in the Sir Tristram Fillies' Classic and fourth in the New Zealand Derby.
