    Both ANNA NERIUM and BILLESDON BROOK have retired, couldn’t see anything in the search about them and thought both deserve a mention

    Yorkhill retired after picking up a small injury that would keep him out for a year.

    Gutted. Was so looking forward to seeing his next run after the Rehearsal win.

    Was entered for Grand National as well, but the horse’s welfare comes first. Hope he enjoys his retirement. :bye:

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    Great to see Yorkhill retired from racing and heading off for a great retirement where he will be spoilt to bits.. :rose:

    I do hope so Tryptych today of all days, and there’s nothing better to make man or beast happy than gambolling about in an empty green field.

    For all the horses old and new :heart:

    Black Corton retiring and going to live out his days with his jockey.

    Was a spectacular horse at his best.

    Happy retirement BC.

    I hadn’t realised how many races Bryony had won on him till I looked up his race record just now. He’ll be spoiled rotten.

    Happy retirement to Thistlecrack. The announcement is almost lost amidst the Elliott scandal so it’s nice to have some relatively positive news

    I hope Thistlecrack has a long and happy retirement. I will never forget how impressive he was when he won the Stayers Hurdle.

    He looked like he had the world at his feet when he won the King George as a novice. It was a pity his career was blighted by injuries afterwards.

    Yes, a lot of real favourites recently retired, hope they all have a long and happy retirement.
    Great news too that Enable is in foal to Kingman!
