Default Shanghai Bobby retired; Data Link to Claiborne; Joyful Victory to sell

http://www.drf.com/news/shanghai-bob...d-retired-stud

Shanghai Bobby, undefeated during his 2-year-old championship season in 2012, has been retired from racing due to an injury and will stand stud next year at Coolmore America’s Ashford Stud in Kentucky, according to a press release issued Sunday by his connections.

According to the release, Shanghai Bobby came out of his victory in the Sept. 20 Aljamin Stakes at Belmont Park with an injury to a suspensory ligament. That race was his first start since being sidelined with a pelvic fracture when finishing fifth in the Florida Derby at Gulfstream on March 30.

Shanghai Bobby was using the Aljamin as a prep for a start in either the Breeders’ Cup Sprint or Dirt Mile at Santa Anita, where last year he capped off a 5-for-5 campaign with a victory in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.

Orb too, for that matter. Shug's quoted in Bloodhorse as saying he came back and scoped clean. I guess the next stop is x rays? Something's wrong, but what?

Default Data Link to Claiborne; Joyful Victory to sell

Data Link retired, to stand at Claiborne Farm
By DRF Breeding Staff

Grade 1 winner Data Link has been retired from racing and will begin his stallion career in 2014 at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky.

The 5-year-old son of War Front finishes his career with eight wins from 18 races for earnings of $831,335. Four of those wins came in graded stakes company, highlighted by the Grade 1 Makers 46 Mile at Keeneland Race Course in 2012. Data Link, who was trained by Shug McGaughey, also set a course record on the Monmouth Park turf at 1 1/8 miles, winning the Grade 2 Monmouth Stakes in the same year.

Data Link was foaled and raised at Claiborne for owner/breeder Stuart Janney III, and now joins his sire War Front on the farm’s stallion roster. =

Is she not BC eligible? Did she get hurt in the race? I love these retirements where the comments are "they've done enough". At least give us a reasonable reason.

She quit because she didn't like rating off the lead while letting her rival, Beholder, get free and clear with a soft pace.

I didn't get this one either. I thought the whole point of Joyful Victory's light campaign this year was to have her fresh for the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita, over a track that they claimed she loved.

Agreed.............more money to be made in sales ring in November than by taking a chance and getting drilled in the BC. Should be a nicely productive mare though.

I forget who it was on Twitter but they were supremely high on Joyful Victory's works leading up to her race this weekend.
