Wish more tracks would do this kind of thing...

Same here. I had cautiously hoped that after his last race at Turfway he might be able to mount some kind of campaign, but after his Clark even I had to think maybe it was time. Happy Retirement to him.

A Shin Forward, winnah of the 2010 Mile Championship.

Always liked him. One of the few horses to pay me back for my loyalty (ie stupidity, stubborness and sentimentality and a good deal of :$: ). :D

Happy retirement.

A joy to watch.
