Champion sprinter Chautauqua’s racing career is over after he failed to jump in an official trial at Moonee Valley on Moir Stakes night.

Chautauqua has once again failed to jump in a trial giving connections no choice to retire the multiple Group One winning sprinter.

The grey needed to pass his second consecutive test but stood flat-footed in the gate to the disappointment of connections with jockey Tommy Berry bringing the horse down the straight for the last time to a standing ovation from fans.

The winner of six Group One races, Chautauqua has won more than $8.8 million.
