Look Here, the 2008 Oaks winner, has been retired.
Ralph Beckett's four-year-old filly signs off after a disappointing run in the EP Taylor Stakes in Canada over the weekend.
Beckett said: "She won't run again, she will go back to her owners in Northamptonshire and we will make plans to cover her in the spring.
"She was brilliant for us, she did us the power of good."
