Thank you to everyone who voted Von Lich, HOTY!  ;D

I didn’t know who was going to win it as it was so close at the end, Jase.  Although, I bet you cannot wait until he is retired to stud now…  :wink:

Congrats, Lindsay! Von L had an amazing year. :slight_smile: Will he try jumps before he retires?

Kowhai has some special dates set up that’s for sure!

Sorry I didn’t answer this before, Shanthi.  I’ve been trying Von Lich on turf and he doesn’t seem to like it as much, but I’ll see what happens with jump trials.

At this point no, but we shall see  :wink:
