Letter to the Editor

There are certain names that are permanently retired in Thoroughbred racing due to the greatness of the horse that originally carried the name.

There will never be another ManOWar, or Secretariat.

In showjumping,it should be the same.

I was amazed to see Spencer Smith riding Untouchable 32 on the American team in Dublin.

Spencer's horse needs another name

The great Untouchable, ridden by Kathy Kusner, was one of a kind, especially at Dublin, where he had two clear rounds in the Nations Cup and won the Grand Prix.

Just my humble opinion, but I would hate to see another Secretariat run up the track, and it is sad to see another Untouchable with rails down all over the Dublin arena.
