Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 29, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 29, 2018 Multiple group winner Sovereign Debt (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}-Kelsey Rose {GB}, by Most Welcome {GB}) has been retired from racing at age nine. After tangling at the top level at four with the likes of Farhh (GB), Declaration of War and Lethal Force (Ire)-his best finish of the season being a second in the G1 Lockinge S.-Sovereign Debt was absent from the track in 2014 and resurfaced at six for trainer Dandy Nicholls, for whom he won four black-type contests during a very busy 6-year-old campaign. Sovereign Debt would win at stakes level at least once during each of the next three seasons, last year picking up victories in the G2 bet365 Mile and the G3 Diomed S. for trainer Ruth Carr, to whom the horse was transferred when Nicholls retired shortly before his death. Sovereign Debt won the Listed Ganton S. at York on June 15 and was last seen running fourth in an Epsom conditions race on Monday. “Sov ran well at Epsom on Monday giving weight away all round but a decision was made this morning to retire him as his joints aren’t what they used to be,” Carr said. “He owes nobody a thing and deserves a long and happy retirement. For the time being he will stay here at Mowbray but he’s such a fantastic looking horse with masses of presence it would be a shame if he wasn’t seen out and about, maybe, in the showing world in future.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
