Naming the Foxbridge after him is a great idea! He won it 3 times (2006, 2009 and 2010), and he was 2nd (by a nose!) in 2008.

Who was he 2nd to, ed, and wasn't he 4th one year?

Geez how many times did he run in that race and yes... rename it!

Hopefully we'll see Sir Slick's name in this thread one of these days...

He was 2nd to G1 winner Jacowils in 2008, and yeah, he was 4th in 2007.

No news on Sir Slick yet. He's not entered in any of the major G1s coming up, so maybe there's hope! Wait and see.

HUGE news:

Can't really think of words at the moment to properly pay tribute to a great career. But these videos can say it better than words ever could.

A true champion. One of the 5 best horses I've seen race in NZ in my lifetime.

This brought tears to my eyes.

The only one on this board who can pay her proper tribute is you, ed, but I will add that she's one of the best horses I've ever had the good fortune to see albeit only in replays.

Beautiful beautiful champion.. it's been really exciting following her and I'll miss seeing her name entered and wondering who she's gonna be beating next.

I guess it was time...

So surprised though.

Cheers to Miss Katie Lee. One of the best.

(Damn).
