i dont care who you are , if you are a racing person and didnt have a little tear in the eye when George Simon said "go girl" as Legarto hit the front and won her final race start and her 5th Group 1 then you have a heart of stone .What a ride it has been , i spotted her running 4th in a trial at Taupo back in April 22 running home late ,contacted my friend Megan Winter who told me she thought she was very special .She was spot on , 2 months later Legarto debuted at Matamata over 1100m and bolted in 3.5 lengths with Taiki Yanagida on board .She went on to win 4 more races in a row including the 5 length win in the G1 1000 Guineas at Riccarton.Unlucky 4th in the karaka millions mile when she got knocked over at the top of the straight then she was then off to Melbourne for what was, in my opinion Legartos "Piece de resistance " beating the best 3yos in the G1 Australian Guineas ,flying home as usual and getting up in the last few strides ,with Mick Dee in the saddle . .She then won the Group 1 Herbie Dyke as a 4yo , missed a lot of her 5 yo campaign because of injury , then came back and finished off her career with back to back group 1s with Opie Bosson riding as a 6yo . 24 starts 12 wins 5 at Group 1 level and 3.5 million in prizemoney .
Lulu goes out like all champions should on a high note .Incredible horse trained by elite trainers Ken and Bev Kelso and she was looked after by her best friend and track rider Megan Winter @megan_winter17 for her entire career .Happy retirement Lulu

Legarto's retirement, the end of my favourite horses career. Her 2023 Australian Guineas was immense. 12 wins in 24 stars, finishing with back to back group 1s overcoming significant injury a testament to her resilience & the excellence of her trainers Ken & Bev Kelso.🏆🏇

@tonytardio Regardless of how it's ended, 43 years is a great innings.

@Lion_Tamer_Nz There was a decent downpour yesterday but not much in the forecast today. Wouldn't expect anything worse than a soft 5 with an upgrade not surprising.

@bill_in_the_704 @JohnstonGarrett We just care about high quality golf, the market has been starved of it for decades here.

@JohnstonGarrett Just play all LIV events in Austrailia. Those people care more about LIV than anywhere in the world. Just set up shop and keep it there.

LIV has a lot of momentum coming off AK win. Wonder what this news tomorrow am could be?
Andy Roberts@AndyRobertsGolf
Some big LIV Golf news dropping in the morning.

@Thomo_Grant Agreed, biggest golf story of the year, but it's so much more than just a sports story.

Anthony Kim’s performance today was one of the truly great sporting achievements. It’s one thing to have the courage to confront your adverse foibles it’s another to take on some of the very best players in the world and go away from them under the most intense pressure. Bravo AK. A movie in the making.

@TheUnitHunter Followed, great day
Wonga Park - South, Victoria 🇦🇺 English

A rare multi and a rarer multi win.
Well done to those that followed.
Long may we punt

@Thomo_Grant He's not really been on the ball much has he? And he's just kicked the sealer as I write this.

@TheGhostofhogan @NoLayingUp NLU started as a podcast, evolved into YouTube & broader content, so yes they are golf media but they are not journalists. They have a media business & are free to make commercial decisions accordingly. We as consumers have the choice to subscribe & listen.

It’s too bad accounts like @NoLayingUp are in bed with PGAT now and won’t report actual FACTS about the golf business like what is happening at DP TOUR right now. But god forbid if they did report it because they are golf MEDIA they wouldn’t be able to play in PGAT pro-Ams anymore so they bury the news.
Golf media is so gross these days. All driven by what they get out of it personally. That’s not media that’s selfishness

@AndrewKirbyGolf I played it last year, great club, immaculate conditioning, a course that asks a lot of great questions, A grade practice facilities and an excellent clubhouse.
