Who is most likely to retire at the end of the year?

I am expecting (or hoping for) some kind of retirement announcement for Spanish Mission. He has not raced in over a year and AFAIK is still an entire. He'll be 10 next year. He should get a chance at stud somewhere.

He is a turf marathoner...so maybe National Hunt un the UK, Germany, or perhaps even Japan? Japan already has his dad Noble Mission.

Pride of Jenni has been retired.

Saw on Twitter that connections mentioned Equinox as a potential mating. That'd be exciting

Pride of Jenni has been retired.

Possibly the most hatred towards a owner since the Chrome dude.

A brief summary:

Owner raced her in Sydney for a race with huge prizemoney. Is furious that another horse races her and demands the stewards question the other jockey.

Then races her seven days later in the Cox Plate in a different state her long time jockey describes her as tired horse after the race.

Sacks jockey and races her again 2 weeks later (yesterday) when she bled.

The owner broke her.


Champion trainer Bart Cummings used to say something like "I will train your horse for $70 if you want to tell me how to train the horse it will be double"

Aw man how awful... Glad she is okay though.

If you get a chance watch (or rewatch) the 2024 Queen Elizabeth Stakes in Sydney that Pride of Jenni won. Its ridiculous how good she was. Someone did a painting from this pic and it now hangs in the commentators box at Randwick.
