Equine Retirements, Long Term Injuries and Departures

[Ardross]

Tornado to stand at the National Stud having been retired. Rather higher class than their current incumbents.

Retires at end of the season not now .

 

[Eleanora Duse]

Toronado has a pedigree brimful of nice surprises. 3 crosses of Northern Dancer (but not the usual suspects), the obligatory lines of Never Bend and Gone West, a bit of Sharpen Up and from the distaff family of Vaguely Noble (if Major LBH was alive there'd be 10 2yos starting with T carrying his colours in 2018).
An interesting sire for the National Stud.

Sirvino

David Barron's 9 yr old Sirvino, heartbreaking sight of him yesterday limping across the Haydock finishing line and on towards the stables with a broken leg dangling. Sympathies to all connections.

 

[trudij]

Intomist of Jim Boyle's today with a fractured shoulder.

Defy Logic is out for the season with suspensory ligament trouble.

Tough break for Elvis

Could it finish him?

Huge blow for them. Panther Claw is best that I can think of with him now

 

[Bonjers]

Panther Claw is no longer with us.

 

[granger]

Panther Claw is no longer with us.

Yikes.

Unless Gigi have sent something his way, he is in trouble

 

[Ardross]

Sky Lantern retired .

 

[Frankel]

Olympic Glory retired after winning today.

Very odd - if the QEII is run on very soft ground surely it would be his for the taking.

Agreed.

 

[Ardross]

Dettori appears to have suggested he might go to the QEII after all .

spirit son has died at Greatwood. A great fighter

 

[trudij]

Bugger. Tho nobody can claim MB doesn't care about his horses

 

[Fizzbw]

No they can't! I met him once, he talked about them in such loving terms, it was brilliant. Sad that Sprit Son didnt get either the career he deserved and the retirement he deserved.

sensational line up

 

[Singing Detective]

Reports that RSA Chase winner O'Faolains Boy could be out for the season due to "a few niggle problems".

 

[Frankel]

Yes sad to hear about Spirit Son. Looked a Champion Hurdle winner in waiting.

 

[Singing Detective]

US racing legend Cigar, who won 16 consecutive races during 1995 and 1996 before retiring as the leading all-time money earner with $9,999,813, has died aged 24 according to reports in America

Very sad indeed. I look forward to the Daily Mirror article highlighting the wonderful care he received after he got sick in 2012
