Retirements and Departures 2013

JONCOL, winner of the 2010 Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown, has been retired after his run in a hunter chase at Down Royal on Thursday.

The ten-year-old has had a catalogue of leg injuries and illnesses since his landmark win and was switched to point-to-points this autumn after pulling up in the Grand National and at the Punchestown festival.

Australia: Black Caviar's half-brother, who in April became Australia's most expensive yearling when selling for A$5 million, has died after suffering from laminitis.
The Redoute's Choice colt, known as Jimmy, is thought to have developed the condition after an allergic reaction to antibiotics being used to treat a swollen leg, which is believed to have been caused by a snake bite in November.
Mark Webster, managing director of auction house William Inglis and Son which held security over the half-brother to the champion mare, made the announcement on his blog on Sunday.
"At approximately 11am this morning the Redoute's Choice x Helsinge two-year-old colt known as Jimmy was euthanised on humane grounds at the Melbourne University Veterinary Hospital in Werribee, Victoria," Webster said.
"Jimmy was suffering from laminitis, a painful hoof condition that impacts on the mobility of horses."
BC3 Thoroughbreds signed for a record A$5 million for Jimmy at the Easter Sale but defaulted on payment along with several other horses who are now for private sale by Inglis.
 
Shame about both, lami strikes again, such an evil condition. Sad about Monsignor, 19 isn't that old these days.
