10yo Bilo retired to pony life in Jones barn
 

Martin Jones revealed tonight on ATR that 2007 Gr. I Triple Bend winner BILO has been retired and will take up pony duties. The 10yo has been a West Coast favorite of mine for a long time and I was pleased it came up. He paid $21.00 beating Surf Cat for his Gr. I honors.

I'm really happy to hear this!

This old man has been on the whatever happened to threads for quite some time now (as I know you know) and it was getting so sad seeing him sink lower and lower...

Very happy he's done and I wish him a long, happy and healthy life.

Thanks for the memories, Bilo. :)
