Retirement
Authorized retired as a racehorse on Wednesday 10 October just a few days after his disappointing race in Paris. Trainer of Authorized Chapple-Hyam hailed the son of Montjeu as "The King". Chapple-Hyam: "Authorized is the King. He is the best horse I've ever trained and I'll never forget him." He continued: "He goes with the best wishes of everyone connected to the yard and I'm sure he'll be a big success as a stallion. I look forward to one day hopefully training his progeny," he told peterchapplehyam.com.
Authorized won four of his seven starts and amassed over £1.25million in total prize money. He stands as a stallion for the Darley organisation at the Dalham Hall Stud near Newmarket, England. His first two year olds reached the racecourse in 2011.
