Aaaah, memories (... and yes i DO post this every chance I get).....

he ran a cracker on international day. a bit disappointing the last time.. I think there is a big win in him still, but the trainer doesnt have much time.. hopefully, he gets a very pleasant retirement..

I hope they retire him.....

Tony Cruz has talked the owners out of it a few times now.

Don't want anything to happen to him. He's done enough.....

He'll be retired following the Sprint Cup on Sunday and will live out his days at Living legends.....

Very happy they're doing the right thing. It's about time.:)

He'll get to hang with Fields of Omagh and Might and Power! :)

Aaaah well, 9th of 10.

Still doesn't take away from what he accomplished. Talk about a horse who really has done enough...

Brought a tear to my eye

A champion in every sense of the word. May god shine on Silent Witness and let him live a fantastic life after racing. Hes earned it.

Great career for a great horse.

i hope to be down in melbourne for the march sales will try to take my digi camera with me & get a few picks of him in retirement:)

Thanks for posting that.

I always admired Archie DeSilva and the way they managed the horse, also how outspoken he was about the greatness of his champion. I remember a few years back they wanted to match race Ghostzapper, would have been awesome.

Farewell to a great horse.

I feel the same way, so happy his remaining years will be enjoyable for him He truly deserves it

this horse is so cool...I don't really follow international racing but I recall making a special effort to watch his races when he was on that crazy streak a few years back...I'm glad he's getting a happy home for retirement.
