💙🤍 Farewell to our OG, Bunker Hut 💙🤍 Bunker Hut (Savabeel x Pretty) was purchased as a yearling by @Chinahorseclub & @NewgateFarm at the 2021 @inglis_sales Australian Easter Yearling Sale from @SledmereStud / @WaikatoStud . He arrived at @royalrandwick that May under High Street Racing, before Michael Freedman Racing even existed. Later purchased by @Darby_Racing , he has been with us through it all: the ultimate original and a pillar of consistency for our stable in both NSW & QLD. Now retiring at the age of seven years, he leaves the racetrack with 33 starts, five wins, nine seconds and six thirds, earning $504,125. From his first win at Kembla Grange to Saturday metro victories at Rosehill and Doomben, he kept showing up and giving his all giving his owners and the team at home some wonderful memories! Our stunning boy has a big heart and plenty of character, including those grumpy faces at feed time. So reliable to handle and travel, he was the horse many new starters learned to strap and take to the trials and races. He is loved by all of us. A special thank you to his strapper, Dips, who has been by his side and cared for him throughout his journey. ❤️ He may not have earned Group status on the racetrack, but he has always been a Group performer to our team. Thank you for everything, Bunker. We wish you the happiest retirement and look forward to finding you the best home and following your next chapter after racing. 🐎 📸 @georgiayphoto / @Bradley_Photos / @ashbrennanphoto
