Phil Kirby trained nine-year-old Suggestion, bred by Juddmonte Farms Ltd, has been retired after six years at Green Oaks Farm stables in Richmond, North Yorkshire.
“We have said goodbye to this gorgeous boy – the gentle grey Suggestion who has been with us since aged three, when bought at the sales by Phil and Adam Nicol.
“After an operation to remove an eye to a painful tumour he became happy again and back to his usual self.
“But the fighting spirit in his races wasn’t quite still there. He has earned an honourable retirement and after a period at former team member, Jennie Durrans, he will be heading up to Seahouses to live with the Nicol family, some of his Owners in his Partnership, Red Cap Racing,” said Pippa Kirby, wife of Phil.
