Tears of Triumph

That horse just blew me away with his performance this past week. I think he has definintly improved as a 3yr old and looks to be a contender in those long Japanese Stakes races. ALthough Fumentsu does scare the holy fire out of me.

This colt continues to amaze me. His 3yo year was phenominal winning some great races in Australia and being voted the Australian 3yo Champion.
For his 4yo year he is hanging out in Japan following in the hoofprints of big sister Moved To Tears who finished her career in Japan. It is currently undecided whether he will retire at year end or continue racing as a 5yo but overall I am very very proud of him for what he has done with his racing career so far.

Well, Tears has moved to Australia for some of the bigger pursed races. His performance in the Brisbane Cup was amazing. I am still in shock that he beat a horse the caliber of Chart(note Banner Descendents thread). He is headed into the Caufield Cup which is very nerve racking at this point. I hope he can do a repeat performance of the Brisbane Cup.

Weee Triumph won the Melbourne Cup. So proud of my boy. He will race next year as a 5yo then retire to a life of luxury and fun.

Sadly this is Tears of Triumph's last year to race. He is five now and looking forward to a life of luxury and ladies(LOL).
His 4yo year was incredible and he won some top G1 stakes in Australia. He has shown now that he can win between 1 1/4 mile to 2 miles. He was also honored with winning the Australian older Horse and Australian Horse of the Year.
Needless to say everyone at Whispering Pines and Dartmoor Stud is very proud of his accomplishments. We hope he will finish his final year of racing sound and happy.
As it stands right now he will be be standing at Dartmoor Park in England when he retires.
