Jim Reilly, a master farrier, has retired after 52 years in the position. From Clonsilla in Dublin, he followed his father's career path. Reilly has been shoeing horses for trainer Jim Bolger since 1972. In 2015, he was awarded the Ancillary Services Award at the Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards. Bolger said, “Jim Reilly shod the first horse for me in 1972 and since then had shod 56 Group 1 winners and 12 Classic winners including two world champions–St Jovite and New Approach (Ire). He also shod two champion hurdle winners and two Epsom and Irish Derby winners. In all he has shod 2,860 winners for us. “He has now decided to take things a little easier and let some rust gather on his anvil. I am delighted to see him retire in good health, never having been injured while shoeing 5,000-plus horses and I wish him a very long and happy retirement. “Jim is a thorough gentleman and a great friend to Jackie, me, my family and staff. I don't think there has ever been a better farrier anywhere in the world. He never missed a day in 52 years and I am sure Willie Mullins, Aidan O'Brien and many others have learned much from Jim.” The post Master Farrier Jim Reilly Retires After 52-Year Career appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Reigning Hong Kong Horse of the Year Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), winner of five elite-level events in Australia, Hong Kong and Japan in 2023-2024, kicks off what promises to be an audacious season in Sunday's G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup over his pet distance of 2000 metres at Sha Tin Racecourse. A history-making winner of the G1 W S Cox Plate at Moonee Valley a little over a year ago, the Tattersalls October and Hong Kong International Sale graduate defended his title in the Longines Hong Kong Cup and added the Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup and a third FWD QE II Cup before finishing the campaign with a breathtaking score in the Yasuda Kinen in Tokyo. He'll be an unfinished article come Sunday, with the international races three weeks away, but he towers over the competition and should make light work of the task at hand. James McDonald jets up from Australia to renew acquaintances. “He is good and he's had a lot of preparation. (Jockey) Hugh (Bowman) rode him for his trials and we had very positive reports,” said trainer Danny Shum of the 6-year-old, who carries a five-pound penalty. “Of course he's not (100%). But, to be honest, his condition is much better than when he went to Melbourne in the early part of last season. The horse is happy, the jockey is on top form and there's not a really strong field, so I'm confident he can run a good race.” Tentative plans call for Romantic Warrior to focus dirt races in early 2025, with the G1 Saudi Cup and G1 Dubai World Cup potentially on the dance card. “We've got the plan to send him to Dubai and Saudi, so I wanted to trial him on the dirt with the pacifiers and see if it helps,” Shum told South China Morning Post. “Romantic Warrior is very special and the Saudi Cup is the most important race for him. Maybe he cannot win, but if he runs in the first four, it will be a huge achievement.” Romantic Warrior is within shouting distance of Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro)'s world-record earnings, and with that treble HOTY enjoying retirement, Galaxy Patch (Aus) (Wandjina {Aus}) looms the heir apparent in that division and should take all the beating in the G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile. Group 1-placed behind California Spangle (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) over 1400 metres last March, he was aggressively spotted just two weeks later in the 2000-metre BMW Hong Kong Derby and came with a late burst to just miss behind Massive Sovereign (Ire) (No Nay Never). Since struggling with the wet ground in the G1 FWD Champions Mile in April, he has rattled off three straight at group level, including a 1 1/2-length defeat of the classy Voyage Bubble (Aus) (Deep Field {Aus}) and Chancheng Glory (Mor Spirit) in the G2 Sha Tin Trophy Handicap Oct. 13. The aforementioned California Spangle, winner of last year's G1 Al Quoz Sprint, makes an appearance in Sunday's G2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint, where he will once again have Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress {NZ}) to deal with. Seven-from-nine in his career, the 4-year-old was a Group 3 winner at the tail end of last season and has picked up where he left off this term, with an easy Class 1 score opening day followed by a smooth success at long odds-on in the Oct. 20 G2 Premier Bowl Handicap. Behind him that day were the re-opposing Helios Express (Aus) (Toronado {Ire}) and California Spangle and it will take something unexpected to see him beaten on Sunday.

Time Test (GB) has been sold by the National Stud to continue his stud career in Turkey. A statement released by the Turkish Jockey Club on Friday read, “Another successful name, purchased by the Turkish Jockey Club, is coming to our country to serve our breeders starting from the 2025 breeding season. Time Test, whose import operations are ongoing, will stand in our country in 2025.” A dual Group 2 winner in Britain for his owner-breeder Juddmonte Farms and trainer Roger Charlton, Time Test, by Dubawi (Ire) out of the Group 1 winner Passage Of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}), has been based in Newmarket throughout his European stud career, which began in 2018. He has also shuttled to Little Avondale Stud in New Zealand and is the sire of four group winners: Crypto Force (GB), Rocchigiani (GB), Okeechobee (GB) and Romantic Time (GB). Time Test's juvenile half-brother Cosmic Year (GB) (Kingman {GB}) won his sole start at Sandown by six-and-a-half lengths for Harry Charlton in September and is currently quoted as 20/1 for next year's 2,000 Guineas. Earlier this year the National Stud sold Mutasaabeq (GB) to stand at stud in India after he covered mares for just one season in England. The champion sprinter-elect Bradsell (GB) has recently been welcomed to the stallion wing of the National Stud, where he will stand alongside Stradivarius (Ire), Lope Y Fernandez (Ire) and Rajasinghe (Ire).
