Baltic King retires to Tally-Ho

by Racing Post Staff
.
BALTIC KING, winner of the 2006 Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot, has been retired to stand at Tally-Ho Stud in County Westmeath, where he will take the place of his late sire, Danetime. His fee has been set at €4,000.

The durable seven-year-old won eight of 49 racesfor trainer Hughie Morrison and owners Thurloe Thoroughbreds, scoring in the Listed Leisure Stakes at Windsor in 2005, where he defeated Prix de l'Abbaye winner Patavellian, and the Listed Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes. He was also second in the Group 3 Bentinck Stakes in 2005 and was runner-up in the Group 2 Diadem Stakes last year behind Red Clubs, who will also join the stallion roster at Tally-Ho. Red Clubs's fee will be €12,500.

Finally official, Irridescence (she's gotta date with Empire Maker) and Scorpion.....

Yeah, Scorpion has joined the NH ranks at Coolmore. Or at least that's what the email i recieved said.

Ms. Sweep Tosho, Diva, who ran and won against the big boys and had her swansong last night (she was 3rd).

One of her finest moments.....

She soared.

Greek Sun was retired over six months ago.

It's a shock, however, that it took so long for this crushing news to hit the press.

Yeah, personally i thought it was a year or so ago but it's in BH today so figured I'd post this breaking news.....

He ran at Gulfstream, a couple of times, last winter.

Aaah, your memory is much better than mine.

I don't actually recall seeing him in about two years but can't keep track of every disappointing horse.

I try though... :p

The disappointment was that he had soundness issues. They certainly wanted to race him.

You don't happen to know whatever happened to My Miss Storm Cat, do you?

I tend to go overboard with how impressed i get but i really thought she was well, I won't use the word brilliant but.....

Just wondering. I've asked around and no one has ever been able to give me an answer.

Obviously, i really liked her.

Thought you might know.

I actually don't remember her.

She had won the Desert Stormer, won 5 out of 7, i think she had broken a couple of track records (at HP?) as a 2YO.

Nice girl...... most people don't remember her but figured i'd try.

Oh well. Thanks anyway. :)
