Icon Project retired with tendon injury
By Mike Welsch

http://www.drf.com/news/article/108353.html

MIAMI - Icon Project, who moved to the upper echelon of the filly and mare handicap division following her one-sided victory in Saratoga's Grade 1 Personal Ensign, has been retired due to a tendon injury, trainer Marty Wolfson confirmed on Friday.

"She's had a small lesion in her tendon since running over a muddy racetrack winning the New York Handicap earlier this year," Wolfson said. "But the area really changed significantly since she returned here and worked a couple of times following her victory in the Personal Ensign."

Wolfson said Icon Project will be bred next season to Giant's Causeway.

Get over yourself.

We're not all privy to what you saw today or what you do with your day for that matter.

It was funny.

When has Giant's Causeway even come close to siring a Derby winner? He gets some decent turf horses but he really hasn't done much as a dirt sire.

Actually I was not going to bother responding, BUT.

According to many around here First Samurai was REALLY SERIOUS, he was mismanaged and had serious injuries. Im not sure and Im to lazy to look it up, but whos the best mare the Giant has had so far. I highly doubt shes better OVERALL then Icon Project... I truly belive Icon was a FREAKSHOW...She was competitive at 1 1/2 on turf, never that great on turf, just decent... Her 3 dirt races were REALLY REALLY STRONG, and her one LOSS on dirt has been VALIDATED.

Has a horse ever been retired due to injury (pg1985 mush) before even being conceived?
