Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}), a three-time Group 1 winner for John and Thady Gosden and owner Imad Al Sagar, has likely danced her last dance on a racetrack. 

A winner of over £1.6m in prize-money, Nashwa has been partnered in all 18 of her career starts by Hollie Doyle, with the pair storming the Prix de Diane glory at Chantilly in 2022. 

However, the sporting decision to keep Nashwa in training as a five-year-old has not paid off and, after trailing home last of the 11 finishers in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot on Saturday, connections admitted that the brilliant racemare has likley run her final race. 

The news was delivered on Monday by Al Sagar's racing manager, Teddy Grimthorpe, who said, “I think she's going to come back now. Really, it was very sporting of Imad to keep her in training this year, but it was just unfortunate the way things went in Dubai.”

He added, “After that we were always on the back foot with her this year and it just didn't work out, unfortunately. There are not many triple Group 1-winning Frankel fillies around, she's been a superstar for the stud, really important.”
