Duckpins is a big, 4 year old, chestnut gelding that came to us in partnership with Beyond the Wire. He is retiring after 17 races. Hasn't won a race in over a year and it was just time to move on with him. The good news is he retired sound!

Duckpins is by Uncle Lino and out of a Talent Search mare so he's got some cool breeding. Indian Charlie fans will be happy to note he is Duckpins' great-grandsire.

Duckpins hasn't been seen to have any vices in the short time he's been with us and got a clean bill of health from our vet. He's not expected to have any limitations and just from our initial observations he looks like he's going to be a nice mover.

He'll have his feet done on Friday the 22nd and then after that we'll introduce him to turnout with other horses. We'll be getting more information with him along the way as we get to know him, but he'll be available early to someone with enough experience to let him down and restart him. Otherwise he'll be getting time to let down as he deserves!
