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

- Prince of Arran take a f******* bow. You are an absolute legend
- Wow! No words to describe how proud I am of everyone involved in this horse! PRINCE OF ARRAN finishes 2nd in the Melbourne Cup. Australia, once again it’s been a privilege to take part in this amazing race. Until next year!
- Replying to @MehreenFaruqiYour lack of knowledge on horse racing is embarrassing. come to werribee tomorrow and I will personally introduce you to Prince of Arran. You will quickly realise that he is not abused, in pain, or suffering. Like every horse in my stable he is loved more than any household pet
- Incredibly proud of PRINCE OF ARRAN. Another wonderful run in Australia’s great race. Thank you @AledBeech for looking after him so well, thank you Jamie Kah for a lovely ride, thank you to the Obaida family for sending him to me to train. 4th time lucky next year?
- I am delighted to announce that I have bought Bedford House Stables from Luca and Sarah Cumani. Not only is it one of the most beautiful and perfectly positioned yards in Newmarket but it is also a home for life. Incredibly exciting times. Thank you to all who made this happen
- Dear Mr Carpenter, if you would kindly give PRINCE OF ARRAN a 0.5-1kg penalty for winning today’s Geelong Cup that would be hugely appreciated. Yours Sincerely Charlie Fellowes Ps get in there you beauty!!!!!!! Amazing job Tash Eaton. We are back baby!
- This really is the most ridiculous sport........ thank you @Hayleyturner123 thank you Cheryl Armstrong who rides Onassis every day thank you to her wonderful owners who trusted me with this beautifully bred filly thank you to my team. Without you I am nothing
- Prince of Arran has come out of the Cup perfectly and trotted up sound this morning. Thank you so much for the many incredible messages we have received. I can’t explain how much it means. Australia you have been amazing. We have loved every minute. See you next year
- My first ever Group winner secures us a place in the #melbournecup. For a horse that has run on 4 continents this year, that is a remarkable result. Prince Of Arran you absolute legend. Let the party commence......
- Looks like PRINCE OF ARRAN is going to get a new stamp in his passport. His next start will be in the Japan Cup on Sunday 24th November. He has come through the Melbourne Cup perfectly and will fly to Tokyo on Monday. #japancup #princeofarran
- It really isn’t Royal Ascot without the Aussies destroying us in the sprints! What a remarkable performance by superstar Nature Strip. He was simply in a different league
- 2 month ban for that incident seems incredibly lenient to me. He has intentionally endangered a colleagues life!?
- I can’t really make up my mind how to feel about that race. Part of me can’t help but think what might have been, the other part thinks we have just run the best possible prep-race for the Melbourne Cup. All I do know is Prince of Arran is the most incredible horse
