Shergar: CC's mare, Swiss Prospector, was definitely a claimer's Blue Hen. I read your post yesterday morning and had to laugh later in afternoon as I was going through some halters and found a head stall with a Crafty Prospector foal's name plate. Had forgotten it was there. The leather is quite brittle and worn now. Time flies doesn't it? Must have been Broad Brush that gave CC his winning and running longevity though you count discount the 14a mare line? Artax, Charlottesville, etc.

Must put in a word for The Tatling, former Group 2 and Group 3 winning sprinter, who at the age of 14 ran in his 178th, and final, race at Wolverhampton today on the polytrack.
Miraculously, he managed to get up in the last stride to win the 5f handicap under top weight.
He retires with earnings of around £688k.
Now that is what I call a hard-knocker.

Run the race - the one that's really worth winning.
