Special news 💚 I Wish I Win has been retired from racing and will return to his home at Waikato Stud.

Thank you very much to everyone who has followed Wishy’s incredible journey over the years, he has granted many wishes and has given so many people so many thrills.

“It wouldn’t have happened without out the staff here, Jamie and Chanel Beatson who broke him in, Jamie Richards (first trainer), of course Moods and Katherine @moodyracing_official and all the jockeys who looked after him so well. And especially to Gio Spiga his strapper for his special care and attention. We have loved it and I wish I could go on but the horse comes first. So, he is coming home.” - Mark Chittick

With his racing days behind him, Wishy now returns to where it all began. From an uncertain start to a dazzling career rated the best sprinter in the world, he leaves the track as a horse that defied expectations, captured imaginations and took Waikato and all of New Zealand on the ride of a lifetime and cemented himself as a champion in every sense of the word. A wish granted, indeed. 💚💙 #WSNZBred
