    ohyea i agree with you both ts and fri, i totally agree and so does 1part of ownership he shouldNEVER EVER ran at sandown, but with a trainer that can talk the talk these things happen, but unfortunatly the inocent victim drew the short straw, and when i say he went out a star its more a sense of being a high point with his racing b4 he got hurt rather  than being useless and then hurt.;)

    well would have to agree and disagree………..he went out on a high as he won some great races to some to some great horses with at times carrying great weights….he didunt go out on a low loser note he went out almost an abused horse, imean u wouldent use a tired not happy athlete in a rematch when they should be resting would you???????????????but yes thanx i hope with posativness that az has a long happy and healthy retiremeant………

    Kauto star is the best horse in training this year and he did beat VPU in the tingle creek but im not so sure he would beat well chief over 2miles he is the last of the big 3 left!!!!!!! as for being in the right place he has to stay injury free after all he has injured azertyuiop noland star de mohasion ladalko and those are the only ones we are told about and probably  at least 3 of those would have been capable of winning at cheltenham this year………..

    he had to  justify it to one of his owners the other didnt want him to run!!!! you are all right he should have been in the field he was a tired horse who had had a number of hard races that year and he had no more to give it was only his class and his heart that got him within 4 lengths of well chief…………

    totaly agree but it never was a small overeach at sandown as stated he had struck into his tendon quite sevearly, but was reinjured again,  racin is a tough sport and  its not that hard to see when any sport horse let alone racing when a horse isunt rite, or even deserves there well earned break,unfortunately for some horses its tp late………:(

    his injury was very low down in his deep flexor tendon by his angular ligament so could not be fired! He was in great order when he went back to Pauls he had been up Heather Daltons gallops and had a clear scan, i dont know what happened but he only lasted 7 days when he received his new injury!!!!!! He should never have run at sandown he was telling you he wasnt right at cheltenham but it was out of my hands i tried!!!!!!!!!        <br>

    was the same leg,but he didunt need to prove himself anymore, so no he wasent fired as he wouldent be happy if he wasent to be back at the top,he went out a true champ and now hes getting treated like a king and soon go out to holidaying in the feild, will put pic up here at some point,was very sad to take him to cheltenham as  he wanted to race and did not want to leave the track, but he had a nice day out, and was happy to see all the people with pats for him x

    hi he struck into his tendon on the last race when narrowly beaton by wellcheif.he was treated and nursed back to health for 16months, and was fit to return, however returned to training and sustained a new injuery on same leg, so it was deceided to let him retire on a high rather than ending on a low,  rather than return not his true champion self, he is dearly looked after and loved, and nearly ready to go out to grass, and god knows he deserves it………….:biggrin:
