Star mare Asfoora’s epic career may be coming to an end in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The fan favourite mare will be running in Race 4 at Goodwood in England at 12:35am AEST and currently holds a price of $15 for the race.

Speaking on SENTrack & RSN’s Giddy Up, the rising eight-year-old’s trainer, Henry Dwyer, admitted that he is “sad” that the daughter of Flying Artie’s career is likely coming to an end, but is grateful for the ride she has taken him on.

“I’m obviously sad. It's been a hell of a ride for three years,” Dwyer admitted.

“We've had three seasons over here. I've done most race meetings and tracks over here… It's been a hell of a ride.

“She's certainly done us proud, and it's not lost on me how I've been lucky to have her do that sort of stuff.

“It's just been an amazing ride and taken me places that I never thought I'd go.”

Despite holding an outside price in the market, Giddy Up host Gareth Hall revealed that he has a sneaky feeling Asfoora could bring the victory home for Australia.

In fact, Dywer revealed that if she does win, then the mare may have another race before retiring.

Hall: “She’s been a mare that has been great when it matters most, when she has her back against the wall.”

“I think she’s got this amazing ability when she knows it’s time to perform, and I reckon she will know there that this could be her last dance.

“I’ve got a feeling she might just go out on a winner because that’s the mare she’s been throughout her career.”

Dwyer: “I bloody hope so.”

“She’s running light on prize money this year, so it's been an expensive operation, so I bloody hope you're right.”

“She's been bloody amazing and it’s sad to be coming to an end, but if she did win tomorrow, then we might be able to twist (breeder El-Fahkri) Akram's arm and maybe give her one more.”

Dwyer continued by exclaiming that he believes Asfoora has a “genuine case” to win at Goodwood, referencing how he has still been happy with her form this preparation despite not running up to her usual standards.

“I've been really happy with her all preparation,” the trainer stated.

“I know her results haven't been what they should have been, but her first couple of runs she wasn't fit, she then ran a cracker at Ascot, and then last time I was just bemused by the performance – she hit her head on the gates… All I can put it down to was she was a bit dazed and confused for the race.

“You always forgive a good horse for one bad run, and that's the only time we've been disappointed with her preparation.

“We know she can still do it. I think there's a genuine case to be made to say she can win but she just needs to want to do it on the day.”

Listen to Dywer discuss Asfoora ahead of her potential retirement race:

Fan favourite mare Asfoora is ready to be retired to stud, according to trainer Henry Dwyer, but when will that day come?

After a second-last finish in the Group 3 Coral Charge at Sandown in England on Saturday, Dwyer joined SENTrack & RSN’s Giddy Up to discuss the future of the rising seven-year-old.

When asked if he has made a decision yet, Dwyer admitted that he is going to ponder retirement potential over the next few weeks.

“No (decision has been made), we're just going to give ourselves the next couple of weeks because she's booked to go into quarantine on the 31st of July (to return to Australia), so she can't come home earlier anyway,” Dwyer stated.

The trainer continued by explaining the daughter of Flying Artie will either have one final career start in the Glorious Goodwood festival or they will pull up stumps with her.

“The race that she can run in here is that same day (as quarantine), so we've got four weeks up our sleeve,” Dwyer revealed.

“I just wanted to give her a week off in the paddock, and then just reassess after that, which gives us a chance to consider the realities of everything and make a more educated decision.

“But there's nothing wrong with her. She's pulled up super (from the Coral Charge run). There's no reason she ran poorly other than that she just didn't turn up on the day.

“That's probably showing us that she doesn't want to be there anymore, but I'm also conscious that she has done that previously over the last couple of years and then can come out and run a blinder.

“So, given there's nothing wrong with her, I'd be inclined to maybe give her one last hoorah at Goodwood, and then she can come home and go to stud.”

While one final race is a possibility for the mare, Dwyer admitted that she is now no longer consistently running well and is split on whether to give the bay a send-off race or not.

“It's getting to the stage now where she's putting in more bad ones than good ones,” the trainer admitted.

“She’s ready to go to stud for sure, but I don't think there'll be any harm in giving her a run, given she's in such good order.

“But I’m also conscious that I don't want to go to the races again (with her). It's an expensive exercise to be over here if she's not going well.

“But as I said, she can't go home anyway, so maybe we do roll the dice. We'll see.”

If Asfoora is to retire to stud, she will end her racing career with over $3.6 million accumulated in prize money, alongside 12 victories from 33 starts.
