Group One-winner, Dreamloper successfully captured his second Group One under jockey Kieran Shoemark, but it was a race overshadowed by the grief of the death of Gr.1 2000 Guineas hero Coroebus.
Attempting to get back on track, the Godolphin colt was held up in midfield by William Buick at ParisLongchamp but unfortunately he stumbled and went down.
Trainer Ed Walker is planning an audacious assault on the Gr.1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf with Dreamloper. "Riding her at the Breeders' Cup would be huge," Shoemark said. "It would be my first trip over and I might have some other rides, but she'd be my best chance."
Godolphin managing director Hugh Anderson told Racing Post the rider was "fine," but Coroebus suffered a fatal injury.
Trainer Charlie Appleby added: "The whole team at Moulton Paddocks is deeply saddened by the passing of Coroebus and our deepest sympathies go to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed and everyone at Godolphin.
"It is very sad to see a great horse, who gave so much to racing, lose his life in this way. Everyone took a lot of joy from his victories in the Two Thousand Guineas and at Royal Ascot."
