Thanks for the wonderful memories Blackie.
I'm a little disappointed that his retirement was better publicised? I stand to be corrected, but wasn't it just announced on racenight? Advance warning could have allowed Albion Park to promote it etc, have Blackie memorabilia etc. I went to Lonhro's last race, got Lonhro caps, badges, books etc. I know he got beat but it was a good day anyway!

I heard decision was only made in preceding 24 hours; camp split and not entirely happy.

Wonder if Nat's pending NSW move had anything to do with the decision? I was actually hoping if she moved down there then that meant that he would have a other crack at the Miracle Mile. He has every other big race in his trophy cabinet, would have loved to see it finished of with the Miracle Mile!! Regardless, he has earnt his retirement.
