We have all watched with awe and admiration the journey of Louisiana, from those early, eagerly awaited steps in qualifiers through to the winners enclosure; time, after time, after time. All of us just slightly envious and wish we had a horse like her in our stable.  She has been an absolute superstar, a genuine horse of a lifetime. She has made the hair stand up on the back of your neck as we we have watched her, and the super cool Gordon accelerate away from the field. So now it is time to say good bye to Louisiana as she heads to America to take on the best overseas. We wish you good luck, and we all  hope to see you back in Great Britain at some point.

We also wish A Rocknroll Star and Coalford Sunshine a safe trip over the water as they both start new chapters in their exciting racing careers.  There will be an update in the Calendar – due out very shortly.
