I often wonder what happened to old favourites when they run no more. Simon 
Holt was publicising the Moorcroft Racehorse Welfare Centre at Brighton on 
Friday.
http://www.mrwc.org.uk/index.htm
 He and John Dunlop are supporters of MRWC. On July 7th they are having a 
lunch at Brighton to raise money for the centre. Simon will be hosting it 
and John Dunlop will be giving a talk on his racing life, the centre and 
answering questions.For £30 you get racecourse admission, the lunch and the 
talk plus 'Simon Said' as much as you like to drink. In his talk about the 
event on Friday I unfortunately did not take notice of his tip for John 
Dunlop's Saturday winner Samuel  who beat my selection Tranquil Tiger.
I was too late..... a fan of Vindaloo after my wife picked him for his 
strong back legs in the paddock before he won his first race a Seller at 
Musselburgh at 16/1.It seems that Vindy is now an England star at Horseball!

Looks not a bad game compared to some events I have been to.

Came across National winner Amberleigh House when we visited the National 
Stud recently. A gelding at the National stud... must be very frustrating 
for him, a bit like being a eunuch in the Harem with only Polo's from 
visitors to console him.

Likewise the gelded Danoli is the resident 'pet' at the National Stud in Co 
Kildare, shares a field with Vintage Crop (although not sure if the 
Melbourne Cup winner is still with us anymore).
Also the resting place for Arkle, whose remains are on show like some T.Rex 
they dug up.
Top day out & right next to The Curragh, I try to make it whenever I'm over 
there, Celtic Swing, Rakti & resident star stallion Indian Ridge on show to 
name a few old favs that weren't unlucky enough to end up on a table in 
France.
Cheers ears
Aid.

I think I read recently that Indian Ridge (Vindaloo's Sire) had passed on. 
He certainly no long appears on the Studs list of stallions.
Here they are very happy with Cockney Rebel getting his mares in the club. 
He was resting between mares the day we were there while Val Royal was doing 
his stuff next door. The surprising sight was Bahamian Bounty confined to a 
mesh cage in the middle of his field. Seems that he eats too much so they 
were restricting his grazing.
