Conduit made an appearance in Mountain Vets (BBC2 last night) in a piece about breeding. Back in Ireland and looking fit enough to race!
Un De Sceaux retired due to injury. What a great career he has had. May he have a long and happy retirement
Sad that an iron tough horse like UDS heads into retirement due to an injury but oh what memories he leaves us with and fingers crossed he has at least as long (and happy) life in retirement as he did when gracing us with his presence on the racecourse.
My favourite of all the Mullins horses. I hope he retires to the National Stud when he’s recovered so everyone can visit him.
Wonderful horse.
I’m a sucker for a front runner, and over 2m on soft ground he was an absolute machine.
Hope he has a long and happy retirement.
A great warrior, hope he has a long and happy retirement. Possibly left a Champion Hurdle behind, in Jezki’s year, when Willie was saving it for The Fly. Tho I don’t know if Cheltenham was his favourite course; his 3 worst runs were in the Ryanair behind Frodon and Balko de Flo, and Sprinter Sacre in the 2MCC.
And Annie Power would almost certainly have won that Champion Hurdle as well. Was that Willie’s biggest mistake, apart form running Vautour in the Ryanair instead of the GC?Great to see him retired in one piece. Hoping for a very long and still exciting life after his racing days.
On his day he was a seriously good horse. I reckon he is one of the very best I have seen on heavy ground.
I suppose he was unlucky to come up against a resurgent Sprinter Sacre and then he bumped into Altior as well.
I hope he has a long and happy retirement. He has certainly earned it.
Happy retirement Un De Sceaux, enjoy all the carrots and polos that will he coming your way from your admiring fan club and live a long and happy life.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Best wishes to recent retiree Carole’s Destrier. A favourite of mine over a good few seasons
also one of my favourites Pilgarlic. Great to see his name here as I thought he looked like he’d had enough his last couple of runs. Sounds like he’s going to have the happy retirement he deserves
Apple’s Jade retired and will be visiting Walk In The Park. Ran her heart out today but clearly not the force of old. Wishing her a happy retirement & looking forward to seeing her foals
She looked to be enjoying herself in front today, glad she had a good spin for her last hurrah.
A wonderful racemare; at her best, as good as any I’ve seen (going back to the mighty Anaglog’s Daughter).
Her Aintree win will live long in the memory; it remains the second most impressive National Hunt performance in my experience, after Carvill’s Hill’s Welsh National.
I wish Jade a long and happy retirement and look forward to seeing her progeny on the racecourse for many years to come; if they have half the ability and enthusiasm of their mother, they will be wonderful racehorses themselves.
