Absolutely devastated we didn’t manage to live out our dream at The Bool tomorrow but what an incredible journey with a truly remarkable horse. A massive thanks to @samueljfreedman for getting us all involved #pawsup
Today we announce the well-deserved retirement of our stable warhorse Bedford.
As honest as the day is long, Bedford won 10 races, highlighted by his win in the 2023 Brendan Drechsler Hurdle and commendable third place in the 2023 Grand National Hurdle.
Thank you to all of his owners who have stuck by him throughout the journey and the hardworking staff who contributed to his achievements.
Bedford leaves a lasting impact on the whole of Freedman Racing and retires a happy and healthy horse, a fitting conclusion to an impressive career. 💪🏼
