- Swan's swan song ends in defeat
Swan's swan song ends in defeat
Make A Track winning at Clonmel
© Photo Healy Racing
Charlie Swan's last runner as a trainer, Getoutwhenyoucan was pulled up in the PMF Accountants Beginners Chase at Gowran today.
The Grade 1 winning handler's two earlier runners, Fulton and Make A Track were also well beaten with the latter also pulling up in the featured Thyestes Chase.
Getoutwhenyoucan's name is appropriate in the circumstances, given the difficult business of training horses, with another leading trainer, but British based, Jonjo O'Neill tweeting 'Sorry to hear of the retirement of Charlie Swan as a trainer but glad he saw the light!'
Swan's final winner in the training ranks was the Giggnstown House Stud's Make A Track at Clonmel on December 4.
