Tact Tate has picked up a cold and will now be been sent for a spell by trainer Amanda Turnbull following his victory at Tabcorp Park Menangle last Saturday.
The result means the 4yo McArdle gelding will not head to the Queensland Carnival.
Turnbull will still have a star at the Carnival however with Fcee, who is unbeaten in 4 starts and will now head to the Group 1 Queensland Derby on July 16 at Albion Park.

While Canterbury trainers Terry and Glenys Chmiel are set to campaign their handy 3yo filly, Nek Time.
The Gotta Go Cullect ran a solid 3rd at Alexandra Park last Friday, and convinced owners Robert and Sharyn Symon of Southland, that she was ready to take on the Queensland features.
Leading New Zealand reinsman Dexter Dunn will fly over to drive the filly in the Gold Coast Oaks (July 2) and Queensland Oaks (July 9).
