Bachman's Queensland Derby mission is over with trainer Gerald Ryan ruling him out of the Classic following his disappointing Grand Prix Stakes performance.
Although Bachman was one of the victims of early interference which led to Luke Tarrant facing a reckless riding charge, Ryan said he did not run out the 2000 metres at Doomben on Saturday as well as he expected and finished 13th.
"What happened early didn't help but he was still disappointing," Ryan said.
"He can't run in the Derby on that. He lost ground in the last furlong (200m).
"We will bring him back to a mile and maybe have a look at the Queensland Guineas.
"He hasn't delivered and he hasn't won for a while so I think his best chance to get a win is over a shorter distance."
Bachman had been an $18 chance for the Derby (2200m) on June 6 with Grand Prix third placegetter Master Of Arts the new favourite, replacing Sadler's Lake who has drifted after finishing fifth.
While disappointed Bachman will not be going to a Group One race this winter, Ryan could not be happier with Peace Force and Solicit who ran the quinella in the Group Three Glenlogan Park Stakes.
It was a Group Three breakthrough for Peace Force who went down narrowly to her stablemate in the Darley Crown in Sydney two weeks earlier.
"She is such a good, honest mare who always tries," Ryan said.
"She will stay in Brisbane and go to the Dane Ripper Stakes and then the Tatt's Tiara.
"Solicit will come back to Sydney and won't race again until the Tatt's Tiara in a month."
The Group One race for fillies and mares will be the swan song for Solicit before she begins a stud career.
Solicit was almost retired after she was eased out of a race at Randwick in March.
Ryan credits the change in her personality and racing manners to a change of scenery with the mare spending time at his Hawkesbury satellite stable.
"She gets to out in the paddock for a couple of hours in the morning and again in the afternoon which she can't do at Rosehill," he said.
