Warning (Declaration Of War), the 2019 Victoria Derby winner, has been retired.
The seven-year-old gelding ran his final race in last Sunday’s Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m), finishing seventh, 4.5 lengths behind the winner Mission Of Love.
Trained by Anthony and Sam Freedman, Warning had 47 starts, achieving five wins and eight placings.
His victories include the Group 3 Chairman’s Trophy (2000m), Group 3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2600m), Listed Super Impose Stakes (1800m), and St Leger Stakes (2600m), alongside his Derby triumph.
He earned $2,479,850 in prize money throughout his career.
“Known as the gentle giant around our stables, he provided us with some thrilling wins, consistently racing at the highest level,” Freedman Racing posted to X.
“A sincere thank you goes to all of Warning’s owners and the staff who have loved him throughout the years. Not to mention, a special thank you to the big man himself, what a remarkable journey it’s been.”
