Mufhasa, who just won Horse of the Year for the second time (New Zealand), won his 10th Group 1 on Saturday (and I do mean against an outstanding field).

Ed and I have talked about him on the NZ thread in intl and, of course, he's on the retirements thread but I wanted to mention him here as well.

Talk about a war horse.

Mufhasa's retirement day has arrived

Mufhasa was a constant competitor in Group One races. Of his 62 starts, 42 were at Group One level and of his last 24 starts, only three were in less events and even then they were Group Three contests.
