SIR SLICK!
 151 starts. Only two wins in his last 71 races, but 20 wins in his first 80. 15 stakes wins; six G1 wins. He was asked to run far too many times, and his performance suffered in the last few years. But I hope people remember him for the amazing first half of his career. And I hope he has a wonderful retirement in a nice big paddock.

Oh wow I've been wa iting for this post for literally years just as I know you've waited to write it.
Thank God. Thank you for the only good news this weekend. I hope he has a very long, healthy and happy life and that his fans are able to go and visit him as he has millions worldwide. Absolutely thrilled. Thank you for some of the best racing memories ever.

Since our good Sir didn't get a thread I would feel bad doing one for this one BUT Sacred Kingdom has been retired.
 A brilliant champion,multiple G1 winner and one of the last remaining members of the old guard. I'm sure Sha Tin will arrange an official ceremony for him and will update the HK thread when I hear anything. Very very happy. It was time. http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...s20120402a.asp I wish both would go to Living Legends. Last edited by my miss storm cat : 04-01-2012 at 09:30 PM.

Brave Kid who, when he started, looked spectacular winning his first 6 in a row and shooting from Class 4 to 1 (HK).
No idea what happened to him, why he didn't seem to do well after that. Nice horse though and one with fans... Hope he gets to go somewhere nice. Happy retirement.

VOSNE ROMANEE.
A decent but unspectacular horse for most of his career; an incredible superstar for six months in 2009-10. http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...-Vosne-Romanee "'We were really happy he pulled up sound after Saturday and he’s in a big paddock now with grass up to his knees,' [owner] Ian Smart said." I'll miss him and his big blaze.

I swear on my life tears are welling up in my eyes but i really really am happy. He was so much fun to follow and root for... a brave and honest horse who was a champion... I will miss watching that big blaze as well. Those replays of his I posted the other day... he's one of those rare horses where if I have time that is my idea of relaxation... watching his best days. Thank you ed for showing him to me and bravo to his connections for calling time now. HAPPY RETIREMENT, VOSNE ROMANEE, (and thank you for the fantastic memories)!!!! * * * Presvis. http://www.lucacumani.com/news.php?id=27 Last edited by my miss storm cat : 04-22-2012 at 11:02 PM.

JIMMY CHOUX
http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...-Choux-retired The best horse I've had the pleasure of seeing race in NZ since AT LEAST Xcellent in 2004-05. You're a champion, Jimmy, and I hope you pass on some of that awesomeness to the little Jimmys to come.

Of course I never saw him in person being half a world away but he was without question one of the greatest horses I've ever had the good fortune to know about and follow in my few short years being a fan. Extraordinary, champion, brave... all those cliche things people say? Well the truest sense of those words... that is the only way to define him. I'll miss watching him and just being happy to see where he's being pointed to / entered in. Thanks for the memories, Jimmy, and for being a present-day great cause there aren't many... * * * Lest i forget I need to add Older Than Time who is such a nice mare and Dao Dao who was a little disappointing but hey it's not easy placing in that many G1's (5? 6?) and at 8 years old he sure has earned it.

She was very very good, but could have been so much better if she hadn't been so injury-prone.
