Quixall Crossett's 103rd loss sparks calls for retirement

Posted: Thursday, December 13, 2001

When English-based steeplechaser Quixall Crossett refused a fence and unseated his rider last month while chalking up his 103rd career lost without a victory, observers saw the action as a sign that that the 16-year-old Beverley Boy gelding no longer is interested in competing.

Quixall Crossett has developed a following for his penchant for losing, but public outcries have led to concerns by the Jockey Club and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Jockey Club has asked trainer Ted Caine to reveal his future plans for the gelding.

"The welfare of Quixall Crossett has been discussed with RSPCA equine consultant David Muir and we do share the RSPCA's concern," John Maxse, public relations director for the Jockey Club, told the Scotsman. "We have written to Mr. Caine asking about his plans for Quixall Crossett in particular and for other horses in the yard which were regularly performing badly."

Caine said Quixall Crossett's well-being is his main concern.

"My horse came back every time 100% fit and I've never made a penny out of his celebrity status," Caine said. "I know him more than anyone, and when he retires he will be miserable. I'm not trying to prove a point by running for records or anything like that."

Quixall Crossett has two seconds and six thirds in his 103 starts and career earnings of $13,774. He lost his last start at Ayr on November 18 by at least 100 lengths.
