Aged 26 and 29 respectively. Sad news. Both fabulous racehorses in their own rights and both sires of top flight horses and dam sires of such.

I have fond memories of meeting Rahy on a few occasions and even have a lock of his mane.

Is it possible, that Slip Anchor left any half bred fillies behind?

A wonderful and proven stallion. As Francome would say, "A good 'orse!!" May he RIP.

I also thought Slip Anchor was much older. I have never had the pleasure of working with one of his direct offspring but have always enjoyed watching them on the track.

Rahy is a sire I know very little of. We have just acquired a son of his and he is a real gem of a horse.

R.I.P. old boys. Enjoying galloping across the skies!

Felt really sad to see this, although I know it comes to them all eventually :(.
I'd done a bit of research on SA before as he is the sire of an ex-racehorse I ride and compete. Said ex-horse is a lovely boy, a bit like a huge, soppy dog in personality.
