Equine Retirements, Long Term Injuries and Departures

[Perpetual]

I was on too when he got carried out but, had lost the faith by the following year....He carried on at the top level for a fair old time and was a real favourite of most NH folk. Memory is bit fuzzy, but think he was the horse that really put Nicholls on the map

I read that Kid Cassidy was put down? RIP if true.

 

[Fizzbw]

Yes, he broke a foreleg in the Galway Plate. Poor boy

Missunited retired after injury at Goodwood.
Pity that.

 

[chroniclandlord]

She's had some career, an absolute credit to her connections.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Too bad about Kid Cassidy yesterday.

 

[Grey]

Missunited retired after injury at Goodwood.
Pity that.

A pity indeed, she is one of the most popular horses in Ireland. I hope she can breed one as brave and tough as herself.

Rodrigo De Triano: http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/article/465/9407467/rodrigo-de-triano-dies-aged-25

 

[LUKE]

Rodrigo was one of my all time favourites-to come back from defeat at Epsom & Royal Ascot to do the International/Champion Stakes double was a serious acheivement.

Does anyone know if Arvika Liegonnaire was retired in the end?

 

[Grasshopper]

Apparently so, granger.....confirmation might be lurking earlier in this thread or the Punchestown Festival thread.

Had read he was all but gone earlier in the season just didnt see it officially.

Was tidying up my Horse Tracker file on irishracing website - my watchful eye has 54 beasts marked down for greatness

 

[Irish Stamp]

I did mine pre-Galway Granger - think the horse that hadn't run since a spin at Tramore in August 2012 was one of the first to go

Indeed Luke.
A forgotten horse who sealed Lester's return to the big time.
Some race record that compares with the best we have seen since.
PCH had some time with Dr Devious and Rodrigo.

Just copped that you can add your own comments about the horse, useful when plotting some of last years Bumper horses

Jim Old has handed in his licence. That period when the stable was hit by a persistent virus was the beginning of a slow and painful decline. Shame, he's a nice guy and was a very good trainer.

 

[Frankel]

Talented filly Inchila, 4th in the Oaks has been put to sleep due to complications from her injury at Ascot.

 

[moehat]

Who was that quirky horse of Jim Old's that became his hack and then sadly died when he was riding him one day? Shame about Inchila. Oh, I remember..Moleboard. He loved that horse.

He thought it was actually something in the water which caused the problems.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Alan King's yard is very close to Jim Old's, has he had the same problem?

The Glenfiddich, maybe??

Not that close but Old not the only trainer to think the water may have been the source of issues in their yard.
