Well you know me and that I share the opinion.....
The De Silva's wanted Silent Witness retired not once but twice. He, like Bullish Luck, was never the same after Japan.
Both had picked up viruses there.
Bullish had an injury but that didn't stop Tony.
Cruz did a really good job in ruining a lovely horse, Russian Pearl. There have been a few that he's run into the ground. A shame.
I say this as a former fan.
I don't know much about anything but one thing I follow religously is HK racing.
I've said this before..... shame on him.
I wouldn't have heard about this but for my quirk of checking on him, making sure he did his swimming etc.
I emailed a friend on the SCMP and jokingly said hey what's up with Bullish man, no swimming in four days?
Not the answer I was expecting.
Hopefully they do what's right by him, whatever that is.
He's a hero, a legend, and God knows this old warrior deserves to get the hell out of HK now and go somewhere nice where the air is less polluted and there's a little space.
I love this horse.
