Fanatic is to return home without gracing an Australian racetrack.
A spider bite put paid to a start in the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup and a subsequent infection has also ruled out any chance of the mare heading toward the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup.
Last season's Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks winner will now return home with trainers Graeme Sanders and Debbie Sweeney to focus on the Gr.3 Wallaceville Estate Wellington Cup and the Gr.1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup.
