Sadly, the great mare from down under has been retired with a tendon injury. What a shame, as we did not get to truely appreciate her greatness. In her homeland, she dominated males with relative ease. Her turn of foot was truley amazing to watch. She surely would have domiated the older filles and mare turf division, probably even the distaff division(very weak at the moment).
I was tired of watching the very average Megahertz, pick her way through fields of grade 3 horses at best and then have Trevor Denman fall out of the tower every time she ran past them. I must admit that Frankel spotted her well.
Frankel knew Alinghi was special when she outworked "Leroy" at the Spa, before her U.S debut. She got pounded at the windows, 4/5 on track and 8/5 on betfair. She turned in a great performance for her first start in many months. Sadly, her next race was over a soft course at Keenland, which she failed to handle like a number of horse at the fall meet.
Let's hope her offspring, have half as much talent as her.
