Be interesting to see if she is able to produce anything like herself. So often outstanding Mares/fillies struggle at stud and IIRC there is a physical reason for it.

Quite right she has been retired. I wouldn't go to Kingman myself.... I think sometimes good/very good mares get the 'blame' when they don't produce anything decent but I do think a lot of it is down to dodgy stallion choices.
Vote Alfie!!!!
Was at Ascot for her first 2 King George wins
Last years was the greatest race ive ever seen on a racetrack, Might Bites RSA a close second
Retired when she's at a prime age to go novice hurdling!
Seriously though, Khalid Abdullah deserves real credit for keeping her racing as long as he did. We got an extra year from Frankel too. Although he'd have had a right shout in the Triumph if they'd done the really sensible thing.

Happy retirement to Cogry. A fine old beast.
Wichita was PTS following complications after surgery to repair a hind leg fracture he incurred whilst exercising in Australia.

Horrible viewing there - poor Harry Senior.
Yep, terrible shame. On first viewing I was hoping he’d just downed tools and refused to jump the fence, but sadly not. Tough old game isn’t it sometimes…
Utterly tragic news from the Racing Post. Seven horses have been killed as a result of a lorry fire on a motorway in France en route to Spain having been purchased at the Horses in Training sale in Newmarket. They include Wise Council. Three horses were saved including Mexico City, and are being treated for their injuries.

In brighter news, Apples Jade, in foal to Walk in the Park, is off to the sales.
Anybody up for a Forum syndicate to buy her?

Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
