SAM Watson’s Horseware Bushman may well have been retired at Ballindenisk last Sunday but little will change in the life of the 18-year-old Puissance gelding according to his owner/rider.

“He will stay in work here and will be a lead horse for Imperial Sky who likes something to aim at on the gallops. He’s in good form and I just decided to retire him when he was fit and well as he is very much a favourite in the yard; I never wanted to do one run too many with him.
