    Not a fan of staying horses but a record of 17 wins from 21 starts is some statistic. I am sure he will get a royal retirement.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    One hopes he’s not going to be a NH stallion……….

    Glad to see him retired in one piece, and hopefully he is as successful as a sire as he was on the racecourse.

    Due to an aggravation of an old ringbone lesion we have decided to take no chances with Kyprios and although he is currently sound and doing well the decision has been made to retire him from racing.

    My Bad Lucy (for an unspecified quiet life outside racing), River Tyne (for broodmare purposes) and Churchills Boy (to his owners) all confirmed as retired in the past week on Nick Gifford’s Facebook feed.

    From Olly Murphy’s Facebook page:

    I’m delighted to say Thomas Darby has been retired and will have an amazing retirement with Holly Tetsill who has devoted her life to TD over the last 7 years!

    A winner of 7/27 starts, including a long distance hurdle at Newbury. He was also placed in 2 Grade 1s reaching a mark of 158 at his peak!

    Happy retirement Thomas 💙

    Not sure how this one slipped through the net, but forum favourite Music Society was added to the BHA’s non-racing agreements list in February!

    Wishing him a long and happy retirement.

    Just read the news of Music Society’s retirement and wanted to post up this picture of ‘himself’ for Nathan that I took at a very wet Newmarket 2nd November 2024 when he romped in at 12/1. :heart:
    Shame connections didn’t reply Nathan but hope this picture cheers you up. Jac :rose:

    ❤️ Happy Retirement Music Society ❤️

    I note from ‘Home Schooling’ on ITV Racing that sprint handicapper Mr Wagyu has been retired. Winner of 15 of his 96 races, top BHA rating was 106, often in the mix in big handicap sprints, his biggest wins were the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh and the Tokyo Trophy at Epsom in 2022, and the Consolation Stewards Cup in 2021.

    Theatre Guide last raced in 2021 and has enjoyed an active retirement. His owner has announced that he will no longer be ridden though and will enjoy his final years in a field. He’s only 18 so hope this doesn’t mean he has an underlying health issue. He was always one of my favourites.

    From Facebook Julie Camacho racing – Our 2023 Ayr Gold Cup winner Significantly has been retired. Bought for £50k, other highlights included 2nd in both the Portland & Coral Sprint Trophy, earning £162k for owner Niall O’Keeffe. He hasn’t been at his brilliant best recently, but retires happy & healthy with our daughter Sam, who rode him in training and has always adored him. He gave us lots of good days and has become a real yard favourite. Happy retirement Sig, I’m sure we will hear all about it!

    That picture of Music Society reminds me of a picture I have of The Tetrarch.
