Takingthepeace, raced by Mathew de Kock, Michael Shea, Murray Makepeace, Craig and Ross Kieswetter, will be retiring to the Kieswetter family’s Ridgemont Highlands Stud.
“She chipped a knee recently and we chose to retire her over knee surgery. She’s a filly that gave us and her owners an incredible amount of joy, their on-course antics at her races went viral a few times. We wish Ridgemont Highlands well with her future at stud,”said Mike on the www.mikedekockracing.com website.
