Mutafaweq will sidestep the Breeders` Cup Turf at Churchill Downs next Saturday, owners Godolphin confirmed today.
According to a statement on their website, the winner of the Canadian International a fortnight ago needs more time to recover from his exertions.
The four-year-old colt, best known in Britain for his thrilling success in last year`s St Leger, could next run in the Japan Cup on November 26 or at the Hong Kong International Meeting on December 17.
Fantastic Light remains on course to represent Godolphin in the Turf.
