"Craig Williamsfelt the horse didn't really want to run through the line on Saturday which suggestedto us that the horse is ready for the breeding barn," Price said.

"Stopping now gives him time to let down and settle into life on a stud farm and be ready to go in September."

A dual Group III winner in Japan, Tosen Stardom was prepared byDarren Weirto win the Group I Mackinnon Stakes over 2000m atFlemingtondefeatingHappy Clapperlast spring after winning the Group IToorak Handicapover 1600m at Caulfield.

"It's shame he hasn't been able to replicate his form from the spring but he's really got nothing left to achieve on the track," Price said.

"As a dual Group One winning son of arguably the world's best stallion in Deep Impact, it's disappointing he is probably finished racing but it is exciting to be getting him to the farm for the next phase of his career."
