Memory has been retired after she yet again failed to leave the stalls in the Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood on Friday.
Trained by Richard Hannon and owned by Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, last year's Albany and Cherry Hinton winner refused to race in the 1000 Guineas and despite breaking with the others in the Coronation Stakes, has since repeated the trick in the Falmouth and again this week.
"Memory once again decided that exiting the stalls was not her idea of fun and this time stood there with her ears pricked looking thoroughly pleased with herself!" said Harry Herbert, racing manager to the owners, on their website.
"There is nothing more to say that hasn't already been said or written, other than it is such a disappointment for a filly as talented as she to have this highly unusual quirk.
"Memory looked amazing in the parade ring and hopefully her good looks and two-year-old race performances will stand her in good stead when she heads into the sales ring at Tattersalls in December.
"She will now come back to Highclere Stud where the team will prepare her for the sales."
