Arson Squad.

I've always been a fan and although injured I'm happy to add his name here and not elsewhere...

The only one to survive that awful morning at Gulfstream.

Still waiting for the names of the other two... the 4th is already listed on the angels thread.

Dim Sum, HK dual G1 winner, the former Algol...

His greatest moments were winning the Chairman's Sprint Prize twice.

(Shock winner in some seriously tough fields)..

He retires with a rating of 123 which puts him in a tie for 11th in the Top 50.

Hope he gets to go somewhere nice.

Sight Winner, 7 years old, member of the old guard of HK racing...

Here's his finest moment... winning the Champions Mile and shocking the hell out of everyone...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...2009&raceno=07

He retires with a rating of 112 which puts him in the top 50.

Hasn't done well at all lately especially that last race, The Stewards Cup, last weekend.

Hope he gets to go somewhere nice. Happy retirement.

HKG1 winner Super Satin...

He had won the Derby in 2010, had some other pretty nice wins, but hadn't done well the last couple of seasons.

He retires with a rating of 104 which puts him in the 50th spot on the Top 50 list.

Hope he gets to go back home now (NZ).

Aikenite

http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...kenite-retired

“He’s been a lovely horse for Dogwood—happily enough, named for our hometown of Aiken, South Carolina,” (Cot) Campbell said. “Aikenite has been reliable, uncomplicated, and is what a Thoroughbred race horse is supposed to look like.”


He was fun to watch - and bet.
