Jamesie bows out to embark on new career David Marnane has revealed that Jamesie, one of his stable stalwarts for many years, has been retired and is being retrained. The 10-year-old was second in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at the Royal meeting in 2012 but picked up an injury last summer. "He was second and third early last year. We gave him a break, then he had one run and picked up a niggly injury - we just said that was enough for him, so we retired him," said Marnane. "He's being retrained from a racehorse to riding horse and they are aiming him at the Dublin Horse Show. I'm looking forward to seeing him. "It's great to see them doing something because he wouldn't be a candidate for being out in the field. "It's good he's got something to do and this scheme is very good for them."
