He's stll running which I'm sorry but i think just sucks. He's raced since 2006. He's a wonderful horse and I'm a huge fan but his last two wins were in 2010 and 2008. Come on he's earned his retirement...no? Once he had left HK they should have just let him be.  http://formguide.cyberhorse.com.au/2...etchingly.html

I'm sorry to say I somehow missed this one.
The extraordinary and gallant old gent Mustard has been retired. Talk aboit a war horse..... Clinton Payne May, 2012 Mustard – It’s over 'I'll see another horse as good as Hay List in my lifetime but I'll probably never ever see one like Mustard again' is how trainer John McNair summed up his resilient warhorse after announcing the horse's retirement on Thursday. Mustard in a playful mood in 2006 - Photo: Bradley Photographers. The 14-year-old raced 131 times for 17 wins and 30 placings with his career earning topping $800,000. The veteran won his first race, a maiden handicap over 1200 metres at Hawkesbury on January 10, 2001. His first metropolitan win came in February 2002 when scoring in a one metro win handicap over 1500 metres. His final win came in a benchmark 85 handicap at Rosehill over 1100 metres in August 2010. Four of his victories came at Stakes level. Mustard won the Listed Maurice McCarten Stakes (1200m) and Razor Sharp Handicap (1100m) in 2004 and then in 2006 he added the Group III Concorde (1100m) and Star Kingdom Stakes' (1100m) to his record. During his long career that spanned 12 years, Mustard covered 161.6 kilometres in race starts. Nine jockeys won races aboard the horse, Rod Quinn (6 wins), Jim Cassidy (2 wins), Larry Cassidy (2 wins), Bernadette Cooper (2 wins), Darren Beadman, Glen Boss, Glyn Schofield, Justin Sheehan and Dean Greville. Group I winners that Mustard raced against included Takeover Target, Dance Hero, Miss Andretti, Bentley Biscuit, Spark Of Life, Magnus, Patezza, Red Oog, Regal Cheer and Virage De Fortune. "I think that's it," McNair said. "He's been a great servant to us. "His owner Terry Rohde and I were in our 40s when he started racing and now we're in our 60s. "He's had a lucky life and he's sound and happy so that's the main thing. "It's the end of an era for us but life will go on." http://www.racenet.com.au/news/79743...E2%80%99s-over

11 year old Granston was retired after finishing 3rd in his 88th race.
 I'd say he earned it! His record... http://www.racingpost.com/horses/hor...abs=horse_form
