Has Grand Couturier retirement been brought up?
Hadn't seen anyone post anything... Well, he's retired.
Nice horse. Nice connections. Grand Couturier finished racing By David Grening A multiple Grade 1 winner, Grand Couturier had dealt with some physical issues throughout his career. ELMONT, N.Y. – Grand Couturier, a multiple Grade 1-winning turf horse who earned nearly $1.5 million, has been retired from racing, trainer Robert Ribaudo said Thursday. Grand Couturier had dealt with some chronic physical issues throughout his career, including an ankle problem that recently flared up again, which forced the horse to miss the Northern Dancer Breeders’ Cup at Woodbine on Sept. 19. “He’s basically retiring a sound horse, but because of complications he had through his racing career and the small setback we had recently, both Marc and I wouldn’t be able to live with ourselves if we pushed him,” said Ribaudo, who trained the horse for Marc Keller. “He’s been, in our racing lives, the best thing that ever happened to us.”
