Re: Horse Racing
TIME CALLED ON BIG ZEB CAREER

Quote:
Big Zeb, winner of the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in 2010, has been retired.
Trainer Colm Murphy took the decision to call time on the 12-year-old's highly successful racing career due to problems with the horse's joints. Big Zeb has not responded well enough to treatment after he finished fourth to Sizing Europe in the Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas.
"It's a pity, but unfortunately he's had a few niggly problems," said the County Wexford handler.
"He didn't come out of Leopardstown as well as we'd hoped. His joints are troubling him a little bit. He deserves his retirement now.
