I don't list all the HK retirements here, there are kinda a lot so I tend to post those on the HK thread but this guy? Gotta add him here.

9 year old Brown Beauty.

Here's his last win...

58 starts... only 4 wins but he liked being 3rd.

Hope he's okay and has a long and happy life.

Happy retirement.

Kelly's Landing retired

Kenneally also reported that Kelly's Landing, winner of the 2007 Dubai Golden Shaheen, has been retired. The 8-year-old gelded son of Patton closed out his career finishing seventh and last in the Grade 3 Mr. Prospector on Jan. 17.

"He retired completely sound," Kenneally said. "He's competed at such a high level for such a long time, and we realized he wasn't going to be able to compete at that level any more."

Kenneally said Kelly's Landing is residing where he was born and raised, on the Summerplace Farm in Lexington, Ky.

"He'll wind down on the farm for a while and then might come back to the track this summer as a pony," Kenneally said.

Kelly's Landing retired with 10 wins from 27 starts and earnings of more than $1.85 million

i hope so too. back before he won in dubai last year the plan was for him to eventually become part of the mounted police. i don't think i'll ever forget them having to work on the gate stall so his big butt would fit. i don't usually go for horses based on their name, but his is the same as my daughters, so i pulled for him to win-i really enjoyed his win.

Yeah I remember he needed an extension or something in Dubai (in the starting gate) cause he was a big boy!
