Some good news for a change, Bobs Worth and Wyck Hill have both been retired, and good to see both of them bow out fit and well
Bobs Worth will parade at Sandown on Saturday.
Cracking news Bobby. Hope they both have a long and happy retirement, they
certainly deserve it Couldn’t agree more.
The correct decision by the connections.
Hope they both enjoy a long, happy and healthy retirement.He didn’t look to be enjoying it last year, so good to see The Giant Bolster retired today.
RiP Sunni may.
Tough horse and had plenty to look forward to. Unfortunately Passed away on the gallops.
Glad to see Bobs Worth is retired safe!!
What a great horse and people forget he won pretty much Championship races at Cheltenham three years running.

Dynaste Enjoy your retirement boys we’ll always remember your finest hours and thank you for the happy memories.
Sad to hear that Sunni May didn’t get to join you
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Sorry that we won’t see him try to defend his crown but wishing a long & happy retirement to Don Cossack.
Does seem to be a spate of retirements. Glad to see owners rewarding their horses service by knowing when to stop.
Good 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
Oh 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
Jeez. 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!
