an incredible mare, an amazing career. my hat (well, if i had one on) is off to her owner, lord derby. truly a sportsman in every sense, i thank him for his willingness to share such a gifted horse with all of us--i know everyone enjoyed her, and appreciated the fact he kept her out there for this long. and she never really missed a beat. three times in the bc, with great success. her efforts against the best in the world were a joy. just incredible.
the very best of luck to her, may she live a long and happy life.
