Prince of Arran has retired: https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.c...-arran-retired/

The article claims that "the 8-year-old gelding was barred from competing in a fourth edition [of the Melbourne Cup] by the Australian authorities".

Without that carrot - and following some pretty ordinary performances - his trainer tweeted: “It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to retire Prince of Arran. He has taken me places I could never have dreamed of and I am delighted he was here to witness my first domestic group winner. Happy retirement old boy.”
