What can they possibly gain that they haven't already?Sometimes people seem unable to call it a day when you are at the top,plenty of champions in sports racing included have sadly ended their glittering career with a trail of disappointing results,I'm not saying that will happen but really if she were mine that would be it she would now be retired............as a champion who ended her racing as a champion!

Totally agree - I like keeping horses in training past 3 but she has done enough now.  If she was mine I would be terrified of her breaking down now.

Clearly you might breed a champion for them or sell stock for big bucks but training on (in arguably a fairly week division) gives the best return at the moment imo.  +£1m a year without even going to Japan / HK.

Great. I hope she visits Hamilton at some point.

A win at Catterick is her first priority Velasquez. . .

Then the big showdown with Zenyatta, over 1m 1f at Musselburgh.
