Last week, Luca Maria Moneta announced that his long-time partner Connery (Cordobes II x Polydor) would be retired from the sport at the age of 19. 

Together, Moneta and Connery have won classes all over the world: Abu Dhabi, Ascona, Dinard, Drammen, Geesteren, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Lausanne and Salzburg are just some of the venues the pair have recorded victories at. 

With this photo special, we wish Connery a happy retirement!
