Retirements & Departures 2012

Too bad about Newfangled, she looked a super prospect.

 

[Colin Phillips]

I've read on another forum that Newfangled has been put down, is this correct?
I can see no reference to this on the RP or SL.

 

[Ardross]

The RP states that it was tweeted by an equine specialist - very sad news a superbly talented two year old and very bad for Godolphin etc after Bave Command in the 2 yo maiden.

 

[Colin Phillips]

****!!

Yep, that Godolphin 2-y-o was sad as well, was Frankie OK?

 

[Ardross]

Dettori is reported to have slightly sprained his wrist but did not seem to stop him in the Ebor !

 

[Grey]

It stopped him keeping his horse straight though.

 

[Miesque]

Valyra put down after fracturing her hind leg working on the beach. Was in the betting for the Arc.

 

[suerunner]

Shame about Valrya - so young.

 

[suerunner]

Reported on Racing Post that GO BALLISTIC has died at 23 after a bout of colic.

Loved this horse to bits - I always thought he never got the credit he deserved.
So pleased he appears to have had a fantastic retirement.

RIP old boy - may your hooves now gain wings.

 

[edgt]

Indeed suerunner. Not many horses run at 9 Cheltenham festivals; would have been 10 but for foot and mouth. He gave connections some fun.

A real pity.

 

[Miesque]

Born To Sea retired

 

[Venusian]

Born To Sea retired

Evidently he has nothing more to prove.

 

[Miesque]

Evidently he has nothing more to prove.

Or nothing left to lose ... ?

 

[LUKE]

Born To Sea retired

He retires a maiden winner while the admirable Famous Name races on.

 

[Cruella]

Bit more than a bog-standard maiden, it was a Listed race he won.

 

[LUKE]

You are correct.

 

[Ballydoyle]

Jukebox Jury retired.

 

[Miesque]

Monsun put down at 22 last night due to neuro disease.

 

[NewApproach]

Sadly they were unable to save Never Can Tell after a serious leg injury she sustained in the Doncaster Cup today

RIP Never Can Tell and commiserations to all connections

 

[Ballydoyle]

It didnt look good when she was pulled up - was surprised really that they thought she could be saved.

 

[Miesque]

Harbour Watch retired to Tweenhills

 

[LBM]

One of my favourite racehorses has been retired. I've put money on him on a handful of occasions and he was always exciting to watch.
Happy retirement Marchand D'or !!

 

[Miesque]

Tiger Hill euthanized

 

[Brochdoll]

Lucinda Russell's Navy List broke his leg at Perth yesterday. Was only 5
