The colt won the biggest race in the United
States in 2019 as a 65/1 long shot when Maximum Security was
controversially disqualified for interference after being first
past the post.
Country House's owners said the horse had first been admitted to
an equine hospital in June suffering from laminitis and had
experienced complications from which he was still recovering.
"We anticipate that he will make a full recovery, but because of
the laminitis and the subsequent steps taken to save his life,
he will never race again," Blackwood Stables said in a
statement.
