Fan favourite The Milkybar Kid has officially retired from racing after a total of 16 races. After bursting onto the scene with three consecutive wins in 2022, he encountered wind issues that impacted his performance, making it difficult to continue racing at the highest level. In collaboration with the Waterhouse Bott stable and co-owners, the decision was made to retire him while he was happy and healthy—an approach that mirrors the proactive welfare-first philosophy seen in recent retirements like Happy Casino, who is a significant part of the Horse Super Fund story.

With The Milkybar Kid’s well-documented love for jumping, a future in showjumping may be on the horizon. This potential new chapter offers him the opportunity for a prestigious second career where he can thrive and showcase his talents in a different discipline. This case highlights the flexibility of the Horse Super Fund in finding the best future for the horse.

Ultimately, the support of the Horse Super Fund provides a tailored Group 1 retirement plan that sets horses like The Milkybar Kid up for life, ensuring they are well-prepared for whatever comes next. We are truly looking forward to following The Milkybar Kid’s exciting journey as he takes on in his post-racing life.
