Rematch is off as Mawj is scratched

Godolphin has announced that star filly Mawj will not be racing in the Coronation Stakes. She was meant to meet the equally talented Tahiyra, who is currently odds on for that event. For now the rematch is off. 

"This season’s 1,000 Guineas winner Mawj will not be declared for the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on Friday, 23 June, following an unsatisfactory scope," Godolphin announced. 

Her trainer Saeed bin Suroor said: “Mawj appeared quiet after exercising this morning and produced a dirty scope. She is coughing at moment, so won’t be able to run in the Coronation Stakes. It’s disappointing to miss Royal Ascot but we will give her time to recover and we can hopefully look forward to the rest of the season.”
