Another big name to give the last two Kranji majors a miss is Lim's Lightning.
In recent weeks, leading fancies Katak and Tiger Roar have dropped out of the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (1,800m) on Oct 15 and Group 1 Singapore Gold Cup (2,000m) on Nov 19.
They were casualties of a fetlock and knee injury respectively.
With Lim's Lightning, the 2021 Singapore Gold Cup winner, staying in his box, the two events will be robbed of even more gloss.
The reigning Singapore Horse of the Year became a non-runner after meeting with yet another last-minute mishap.
"The day before the Lion City Cup, we picked something up, and unfortunately, we had to scratch him," said his trainer, Daniel Meagher.
"Luckily, we gave him a rest or he could have hurt himself even more seriously in the race.
"It's a mild injury of the back leg, which is not serious, but serious enough to give him a break.
