    Slate lane suffered career ending injury when winning at Haydock in Saturday, struck into himself took half tendon away. Hopefully operation they done will be enough to save him for early retirement

    That’s rotten news about Slate Lane. He ran a very gutsy race on Saturday. Wishing him a swift recovery and a long and happy retirement.

    Lovely to see Lostintranslation enjoying his retirement. Thanks for posting Illavim :-)

    The retired champion Nature Strip looks like a natural at his first 90cm showjumping competition. Could’ve tried him as a hurdler! :D

    I guess it counts as a retirement, Cloudbreaker is being sold as a horse out of training due to an unspecified injury. I know VTC always thought she had a nice race in her, so it’s a shame she won’t have a chance to build on that next year, but at least she seems to have recovered well enough to move onto a second career in the paddocks.

    The article at https://www.racingpost.com/bloodstock/sales-reports/havana-grey-breeding-right-headlines-tattersalls-online-december-sale-catalogue-atkWN5L5I4I3/ doesn’t mention the injury but it’s in the vendor notes on her sale page (lot 59).

    “Stakes placed See The Stars mare. Non racing prospect due to injury. Good for breeding.”

    That fine Irish hurdler Ronald Pump is now on the BHA’s non-racing agreements list. He was runner-up in Grade 1 company on four occasions including the 2020 Stayers’ Hurdle.

    He earned connections £249k in 41 races. Wishing him a long and happy retirement.

    Two-time NSA Timber Horse of the Year Andi’amu is retiring to the Kentucky Horse Park. He’ll be the first steeplechaser to reside at the Hall of Champions!

    The French-bred Andi’amu raced in the UK from 2013 to 2015 prior to his illustrious career in the US.

    Bolshoi Ballet – another Flat horse becoming a NH stallion without doing anything to prove he should be one.
