This week on Thoroughbreds Are Go, trainer Dean Grass shares the remarkable story of his retired racehorse High Torque, a son of Toronado who successfully transitioned into equestrian competition while still in full race training. From racing on a Monday to winning the Yulong Rising Star class at Werribee just days later, High Torque showcases the versatility, athleticism and adaptability of Thoroughbreds beyond the track. Dean also discusses the importance of early education, cross-training and creating meaningful second careers for retired racehorses.

The episode also highlights the ongoing commitment of Inglis and Godolphin Lifetime Care to off-the-track Thoroughbreds, featuring their competitors and graduates at the recent Equimillion competition in Sydney. In the Where Are They Now? segment, the team visits Vinery Stud to catch up with legendary stallion Testa Rossa, now 30 years old, reflecting on his outstanding racing career, enduring legacy and dedicated care in retirement.
