Last season's champion two-year-old, trained in Ireland by Jim Bolger, was found to have some soreness at the back of his off-fore knee.

The Galileo colt won all his five starts as a two-year-old, including the Group One National Stakes and the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket. He was 2-1 favourite to begin his pursuit of Triple Crown glory with victory in the 2000 Guineas.

Bolger said in a statement: "Teofilo had a blow-out on Thursday morning at 6.30am over five furlongs and moved with his usual fluency.

"He gave every indication that he was fit and ready to run.

"Unfortunately at 9am there was excessive heat, and some soreness at the back of his off-fore knee when palpated.

"After discussions with my senior staff, I have decided that it would not be prudent to run him in Saturday's Stan James 2000 Guineas.

"Consequently, I shall not be declaring him for the race.

"My staff and I have made every effort to have Teofilo fit and well for the first Classic of 2007, but must now accept that a cautious approach is the correct way to go as more serious damage could be done if subjected to a race at this time."
