Very unfortunate :(

I usually don't post the HK boys here unless they're big stars (cause thre are sooo many retirements) but gotta mention this one...

Couldn't Care Less.

He often lived up to his name. :)

He retires with the unheard of rating of 10 which is the lowest I've ever seen.

Cellar dweller, as they're called (Class 5), I just always really liked this horse.

4 wins in 67 starts, his final race was back on the 12th.

Hope he's okay and that he can go somewhere nice.

This is for anyone who was a fan of his...

I think it's absolutely lovely.

The official farewell for champion Pocket Power.
