Retirements & Departures 2012

That's unfortunate. Hard losing them at any time but you don't expect it as much at home as on the track.
 
Thanks all - as others have said it's hard losing them at home and feel bad for Maz and the girls at the yard who were expecting to ride him out yesterday morning and have an empty box there now.

Not a great weekend for our yard either. Salaaheb sadly passed away after being injured, and Gross Prophet was put down when falling at Uttoxeter.
 
U B Carefull sadly collapsed and died on his way to the winners enclosure after winning the 4.20 at Ludlow :(
 
Census has died after sustaining a displaced fracture of the pelvis . Great shame he was going to make a top stayer this year.
 
Montjeu dead from complications from an overwhelming septicaemia.

MONTJEU, the outstanding middle distance racehorse who as a sire produced three Derby winners, has died aged 16 after a short illness, Coolmore Stud announced on Thursday.
Coolmore said the stallion, whose offspring include Epsom heroes Motivator (2005), Authorized (2007) and Pour Moi (2011), had suffered complications from an overwhelming septicaemia.
A statement from Coolmore on Thursday read: "Montjeu, the highest-rated racehorse ever by the great Sadler’s Wells, has died this morning at Coolmore Stud after a short illness, which was due to complications from an overwhelming septicaemia.
"The sire of three Epsom Derby winners including last year's brilliant winner Pour Moi, as well as Camelot, the favourite for this year’s edition, Montjeu was one of the best stallions in the world and in 2011 he sired 15 individual Group/Graded winners in the northern hemisphere, which was the equal of Galileo.
"Montjeu will best be remembered for his incredible wins in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes as well as his runaway victories in the French and Irish Derbies."
 
Very sad about Fox Hunt and I think Trafford Lad just broke his leg in the 17:20 at Navan. Looked bad anyway :(
