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. :)
