As previously mentioned Toby’s Corner has retired and gone to Japan.  This is in today’s Racing Form.  Good luck Toby.  We miss you. Toby’s Corner to stand in Japan      

I’ve always thought that was a lovely name.  This was her first run in the US and the first time she’d experienced firm ground.  Obviously that’s what she liked as she floated across it today.  Congratulations to owners and breeders, Flaxman Holdings Limited.
