Chris Waller’s Tutta La Vita has been scratched from Saturday’s Queensland Oaks and will be shipped to the US with Breeders Cup ambitions for new owner John Stewart.
Stewart’s Resolute Racing recently purchased the Group One placed daughter of The Autumn Sun for $3.2million at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale however she disappointed at her first run for the new ownership when 8th in the Gr2 The Roses.
"We think Tutta La Vita can benefit from some rest," Stewart told Racenet.com.au.
"Her last couple of races have not been up to expectations and we think there are some nice turf races in the US beginning this summer that we would like to target for her."
Stewart also revealed he would be sending “a number” of horses from the US to target the spring carnival later in the year.
Tutta La Vita will leave Australia having had 12 starts for one win and five placings, with three of those placings at Group One level in the Flight Stakes, Surround Stakes and Vinery Stud Stakes.
