Unfortunately the code decided to retire Quarren today. Apologies to anyone who had booked to use him this year and now has to find a new mate for their girls. I’ve temporarily closed Golden Text and Sionnach’s books whilst I try and reroute some of my own mares but hope to have them open again fairly soon should anyone want to switch their booking to one of them.
That is so sad. He was only 12 and in the prime of his breeding years. He only has 6 crops of which only 3 of them have done any significant racing (I’m not including 2YO because we’ve only had 3 days of 2YO races so far) and he was already up to Silver Breeding rank.
Thank you @Dee and @Starfish. It was disappointing to loose him so early but I’m hoping there might be a son or two to carry on his legacy in the future. We’re lucky to have two stakes level half sisters to him and some of his daughters are doing nicely on the track and should be able to join our broodmare band in the future (not that I need more broodmares!).
