2016 Epsom Handicap winner Hauraki has been retired

Over three seasons and 25 starts, Hauraki won five races and was placed another 11 times, earning more than $2.5 million.

As well as his 2016 Epsom win when James McDonald rode him to victory, he was placed another six times at Group I level.

"Horses like Hauraki are hard to find, and when they come along they are appreciated," Godolphin's Australian racing manager Jason Walsh said.

"He was a wonderful asset to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed's Australian stable and a credit to his sire Reset.

"As well as that, he was a favourite of everyone in the organisation. He was genuine, honest and talented racehorse who will be missed by us all."
