Following Estrange’s impressive win in the Pretty Polly Stakes Group 1 at The Curragh, it has been decided she will not race again. Managing Director, Chris Richardson said “whilst Estrange has not had ideal conditions, with the very dry summer, it has been decided to retire her to the paddocks. Estrange suffered some bone bruising during her last race, which meant she has had to have an easy time since and, although an autumn campaign was being envisaged, time is running out to have her fully fit therefore Mrs Thompson feels, as she has won her Group 1, it is time for her to retire to the paddocks.
Estrange has given Patricia Thompson, her son Richard, their family and all of us at Cheveley Park Stud some wonderful moments on the racecourse and we cannot thank David O’Meara, and his staff enough, for training her so wonderfully”.
Mating plans for Estrange have yet to be finalised.
