Unexpected but very good news all in all. I thought that she didn't look her old self since Ascot. Nice to see her go out on a high.

I'm going to miss seeing that lightning quick brush. Can't remember ever seeing another turf sprinter that could accelerate so quickly.

Too bad, I was hoping for one more trip to Ascot while she was 100%. Horses like this don't come along very often, though we've been blessed in the filly and mare division in recent years.

They just stand still in a state of motionless inertia, while deceiving all around them who believe that they are running like the wind?

Yes, that's how you can tell them from the fake sprinters.

After the last win, they were talking possibly another year - but also breeding her to Frankel. But 25 is a nice number to end with.

Since this report apparently the laminitis has gotten even worse, and his prospects are very grim.
