The much-anticipated comeback of dual Group One winner Pride Of Dubai is over before it has begun with the colt to miss the spring with a hind leg problem.

Co-trainer Peter Snowden said Pride Of Dubai had suffered bone bruising in a leg and would head to the paddock until mid-November with the stable's sights now on next year's autumn carnival.

"He was going so well but there was just an issue there and we were finding it difficult to manage whilst he was in work," Snowden said.

"It's not massive, but it's just enough."

The aborted spring campaign has dashed hopes of a showdown with Golden Slipper winner Vancouver who finished fourth in the Group Three San Domenico Stakes on Saturday.

The two did not meet as two-year-olds with Blue Diamond Stakes winner Pride Of Dubai missing the Golden Slipper in favour of the ATC Sires' Produce Stakes which he also won.

There was better news for Snowden when Princefamous won the Mounties Group Hcp (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday.

"For a little horse he has a massive stride on him and he just keeps quickening so it's a good formula to have," Snowden said.

"When I first started with him I thought provincial, maybe midweek (grade).

"Now I think there's a nice race in him. He needs to get stronger to get to that level and probably in the autumn he will."

Princefamous ($2.10 favourite) led throughout to defy Mr Entertainer ($71) by three-quarters of a length with Awasita ($15) another half-head away third.
