certainly deserve itApril 24, 2016 at 10:35 #1243516Couldn’t agree more.
The correct decision by the connections.
Hope they both enjoy a long, happy and healthy retirement.November 3, 2016 at 14:11 #1270321He didn’t look to be enjoying it last year, so good to see The Giant Bolster retired today.

January 11, 2017 at 17:20 #1281456Does seem to be a spate of retirements. Glad to see owners rewarding their horses service by knowing when to stop.
January 26, 2017 at 11:55 #1283833On his own retired. Picked up an injury.
Unlucky not to have won a gold cup
January 26, 2017 at 13:49 #1283848Good to see the old boy go out in one piece Sprinter.
Smashing horse, and but for spineless stewards, would have been my 1000-1 winner of The Gold Cup………………but I haven’t given that a second thought since, and totally at ease with it lol
January 26, 2017 at 16:46 #1283881thats a sickner VTC!
January 26, 2017 at 16:53 #1283884Oh it sure was Sprinter
I’ve told this story many times before, but in 2013, he didn’t get a Gold Cup entry, but I’d already had £29 on him at 1000’s, as I was convinced he was a Gold Cup horse (certainly in that weak era), and was sure they’d supplement him. They didn’t.
Cue the following year, and I added him to the market myself, but some other bugger snaffled the 1000’s, and only managed £1.70 on him at 1000’s, but yet again they didn’t enter him. Common sense kicked in this time though, and they did supplement him, and I was “quietly confident”.
I actually had £20 on Lord Windermere at 33’s as well, but obviously I wanted On His Own to get the race. The most galling thing about it is that in real time, as it happened, it was quite clear that LW stopped him, and I was convinced he’d be awarded the race. Then I started f4nnying about on The Exchanges with the stewards enquiry outcome, and my winning totals were going up and down like a yo-yo………..I was a gibbering mess by the end of it lol
January 26, 2017 at 17:12 #1283887Jeez. That’s a joke mate. Like you said if the stewards would have shown any balls!
The win on LW must have softened the blow a bit but still that’s a nightmare you were robbed of that!January 26, 2017 at 18:43 #1283903PP Gold Cup winner John’s Spirit retired today
January 26, 2017 at 19:25 #1283912Very good news DG
