Thandolwami retires.

13 years 1 month ago

After giving us many years of enjoyment, the highlight having a runner in The Vodacom July and our trips to JHB with him, we have decided to give him his well earned retirement. Thanks Boy we had a great time.Enjoy your days in the paddock.

A few for him as he ran 3rd in a group 1 and a couple of 2nds in Group 2's and 3's and only won a listed in the end but still won over a million. Loved to have won a group race with him.

Craig

Is this horse injured?

If so then sad to see him retire.

if not

Please explain to me how horses in the UK can race as old as 8/9/10 and horses in sa are retired relatively young?

He pulled up lame from his last run and not going to take a chance that more goes wrong.

sorry to hear that, hope he has a long happy retired life.

now last week i saw a horse make his comeback after 1032 days , what is the longest a horse has been "rested" in SA and then made a comeback?
