Default I'll Have Another's pending retirement...?

Win or lose in the Belmont, is there any chance Reddam won't retire him shortly after the race?

Breeders Cup at Santa Anita would be hard to pass up right?

Especially since at this point in the year, the older horses look incredibly slow compared to the 3yo's...

Reddam is a gambler, he fires in. I would think he would continue to run his horse to the end of the season, running as a 4yo might even be too risky for him though.

I'm trying to think of a relatively easy race they could run IHA in in California in late summer/early fall to get ready for the BC Classic.

The Pacific Classic fits perfectly on the schedule but it could be a tough race and it is on poly.

Bodemeister will probably be retired before IHA is.

This is a unique situation. The horse has an owner who has the deep pockets from a business that is high risk without the thugs to break people's arms and legs.


He could cut his nuts off for all we know.
