Sir Rembrandt

[zebs]

Has been retired ....

Sir Rembrandt, the 2004 Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up, has been retired.




Connections of the popular 12-year-old chose to call it a day after a third consecutive poor show at Newbury on Saturday.




Victor Dartnall´s chaser was off the bridle some way from home in the National Britannia Veterans´ Handicap Chase and trailed home a distant seventh.




Dartnall told the Racing Post: "He didn´t really enjoy himself and is not the same horse we saw earlier in the season.

He has been a good horse for his connections over the years ......Hope he enjoys a happy retirement

I ran down to the walkway to watch him come in yesterday as I had a feeling it would be the last time we would see him. His jumping was quite careless in the race and I was just glad he didn't tip up.

A grand chaser in his time who has won me plenty and given a great deal of pleasure. Good to know his owners are going to give him his rest now, I hope he has a long and happy retirement.

Another racehorse that deserves a long and happy retirement. Well done to the connections.
