Borderlescott retired

A cracking horse that kept a small trainer in the headlines for a long time.
It must be great to be part of a top sprinter;decent races every week or two all over Europe and beyond; the fun you coukd have. Happy retirement well deserved.

That pairing haven't had much luck in recent seasons. That promising bumper horse got killed at home. Can't remember the name of it.

Poor oul Pasco after him winning last time out.

AccordingtoEileen from Fergal O'Brien's yard. Not a superstar by any means and probably not heard of by many on here, but a sweet heart who has had enough of racing and is going home safe and sound.
