Henrythenavigator, Duke of Marmalade, Nickname, Sealy Hill...

midnight lute, fairbanks both to be retired, according to bloodhorse.

I'm sure this list will grow n the days/weeks to come.
Bummer about Midnight Lute..I was looking forward to seeing more of him.

It's hard to knock retiring ML--he's been through the wringer. He deserves a parade of pu$$y.

Ginger Punch...

Student Council, Carriage Trail, Mauralakana, Alwajeeha, and...

Street Boss...

The implications of the retirement of Ready's Image will send shock waves throughout the industry.

Standing at Walmac for 12,500 :rolleyes:

*anxiously awaiting the Fed Watcher press release*

That's amazing.


I can only imagine his fee if the economy was flourishing.

Yeah, I was actually worried about how you'd take the news...

Hope you're okay with it.

Quick thoughts... Student Council, Carriage Trail, Mauralakana, and Lewis Michael all are reasonable retirements. They go out basically doing everything they could given their respective talent levels and aren't getting any better.

Ready's Image... ok I have nothing to say about him, kind of like his career.

Street Boss?? Really?? Is Darley that desperate to get him in the shed at 25k? He could have DOMINATED the sprint division next year in California. Sucks.

Ramonti, as per our friends in royal blue...

Kimberley Mines (HK), beloved 10 year old gelding originally from South Africa and Bodacious, HK Class C boy who was pretty damned good.

Happy retirement. Hope they both get to go somewhere nice.

Ready's Image??? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

headed to walmac, will stand for 12.5k. he should command a lot, he won the adjudicating after all....won just over 300k.
they don't ask for much anymore, do they?

Able Prince, eternal member of the illustrious Top 50 list (Hong Kong), G1 runner... a fine, fine horse. He bows out at #28.

Hope he's alright. Happy retirement to one who ran with the best.

Life as we know it.. is over. I don't believe I can go on..

I gurantee that he will be EXACTLY the 17th best freshman sire in a few years.

yeah, i chuckled a bit when i saw the announcement. i mean...was anyone breathlessly anticipating the news of where he'd stand so they could hurry and get their mare in line???

:D

Very happy to add this name.

I like this guy a lot (even though he's disappointed me) and it's about time.
