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).

What I thought was pretty remarkable about Porfido's win is that he had made 17 career starts, or something like that, on the Hollywood Park turf without ever getting his picture taken! 18th time's the charm, I guess!

I didn't bet the race, but when I saw him closing like that in the stretch, I started screaming my bloody head off! It was great fun!

Love those old guys! God Bless 'em!

I know what you mean. I feel like handing out ear plugs to the people around me when it's a horse like this old guy.

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.
