great race and a great win for Gentildonna. really nice to see her go out in style!

Can you help me get retirements up to date, SS? Who else had their swansong in that one (aside from Just A Way)? I had the list in my head but seem to have misplaced it (the list, not my actual... oh never mind).

as far as i know just Gentildonna and Just A Way

Thought I remembered seeing a few more names were retiring...

Good enough! Thanks.

Surprisingly bad run from Gold Ship...

Have been meaning to ask if you have thoughts on both Last Impact and Fame Game... (?).

These two interest me in the little bit of attention I have so far given the Tenno Sho... would love to hear your thoughts if any, my old friend. :)
