Teeton Mill
Posted Feb 14, 2000
It is with great sadness that we announce the retirement of last year's undoubted star, Teeton Mill, a front running grey who galloped himself into the racing public's heart with victories in the Hennessey and the King George. He suffered an injury in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and has not raced since.
His jockey Norman Williamson said today "It was a pleasure to have ridden him. He's one of the best jumpers I've ridden. What he did to win the King George and then drop back in trip at Ascot to beat the two-milers was incredible which is I why I thought he was a certainty in the Gold Cup. He was an absolute gent to ride, you could do anything with him and he jumped from fence to fence. I am just pleased he has gone out sound. He wasn't lame or anything he just wasn't showing his old sparkle."
A spokesman for the owners, The Winning Line syndicate, paid tribute to their equine superstar before adding "We'll now be finding him a very good home so he can enjoy himself."
I for one wish him well.

A popular horse among the Racing public following his 1991 Cheltenham Gold Cup win, he was narrowly beaten into second by the sturdy little Kiwi Seagram in the Grand National of the same year. Beloved of his trainer Jenny Pitman it is heartening to hear that he has found a new career to occupy him in his retirement. Garry is currently providing the horse power for Richard Cook, the Cotswold field master and looking fighting fit on it.
