Proud Berry heads to early retirement

Sad news to report this evening. After nine months of recovery from a broken hock, Proud Berry had a hand slip on Tuesday and went round ok although he was a little sore the following morning.

His proud owner John Nokes decided to retire his stunning looking dog as he didn't want to risk the dog picking up another injury. This fantastic animal was unbeaten in his career winning all four of his races before sadly breaking his hock in a trial preparing for the Gymcrack.

This son of Crash who in his short career beat Ballymac Eske, Blonde Regan, Westmead Bertie, Westmead Sramble, and Ballymac Wander. He will now go up to Merefield Stud to have some frozen semen taken and could stand there at stud.
