The Distinguished (Ladies and) Gentlemen's Club

[my miss storm cat]

Red Rock Creek just won the 4th at Fair Grounds. He's 11.

I know some of us have a real soft spot for the older horses so I thought this might be fun. It's a nice parallel to the waiting for newes on thread anyway.

Just a chit chat thread for the aging horses who do well and for anyone who feels like mentioning them / applauding them / whatever.

I won't start inundating this with a bunch of international horses (there are so many older ones!) but i do just want to mention Sir Slick (right, ed?).

Sir Slick is 10 and about to make his 148th start.

War horse.

He has given everyone on the New Zealand racing thread numerous heart attacks cause we've called for his retirement year after year but then the old man proves us wrong and at times in a big way. Hes had a long and illustrious, drama-filled career so I did just want to mention him.

Cheers to these fine gentlemen.

Anyone else have one they'd like to talk about?
