BOUGHT for $400,000 as a foal, Missed The Cut was culled by Shadwell in February this year at Tattersalls, selling to Hurworth Bloodstock for just 40,000gns.

Now trained by man of the moment George Boughey in Newmarket, Missed The Cut has won three of his four starts, including the 10-furlong Golden Gate Stakes, and he was a second Royal Ascot winner for the up-and-coming handler. A son of Quality Road (Elusive Quality), Missed The Cut is the first foal of the US listed winner Beauly, a daughter of Sea The Stars (Cape Cross).
