Guess this wasn't in the script. Bit unfortunate if it ends up as the last chapter of the story. Will definitely leave a question mark there.

Win Number 100 for the old boy on the 20/04/18, Many congrats to the connections
Incredible horse, 100th win at his 450(!) race start. 71 seconds and 64 thirds to boot.
I doubt whether he has actually done any fast work over the last decade, just a matter of racing him. As a rising 15 year old, it would be fitting to call time now.
A wonderful old war-horse, and to quote the title of a Slim Dusty song, it's time to "Leave Him in the Long Yard".
