Selhurstpark Flyer

[humblepie]

Did anyone see this in the Racing Post yesterday - Selhurstpark Flyer died at the age of 32 - he first ran as a 2 year, then retired from racing aged 9 afer winning his own named race at Epsom in July 2000. Then lived at his owner's stud until they sold up when moved to a live with a friend of their's. He won back to back Wokingham handicaps and ran 64 times. He certainly had a very long retirement and it sounds like he was quite a character.

Oh that's sad but what a good age he made. I always looked out for him with family being crystal palace fans.

Oh that's sad, I did my work experience from school at Jack berrys yard when he was there. He made it to a good old age for one started so young.
