Well atleast he lives to see out his days in a paddock somewhere so many of the greats haven't, he was one of the best horses the country has ever seen and certainly the greatest racing story in my lifetime of racing Joe will be hard pressed to find one to replace him however for what Takeover Target did for them why would you bother getting another one nothing will ever beat what that horse did for them.

He won in England, Japan, Singapore and obviously Australia winning in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and WA whilst here he certainly racked up the miles the old boy now it is time for him to rest well done to the old boy you have deserved it I am sure his feats will never be forgotten by those who had the pleasure of witnessing them.
