wait a while.

Wait a While's racing career is over

Wait a While, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2006, has been sent to Kentucky to be bred in 2009 and will not race again, according to Michael McCarthy, trainer Todd Pletcher's assistant trainer in California.

Wait a While, 5, finished third in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Santa Anita on Oct. 24, three-quarters of a length behind Forever Together. She ends her career with 12 wins in 24 starts and earnings of $2,394,917.

"She's in Kentucky," McCarthy said. "She will be bred. Racing is over for her."

Wait a While won 11 stakes, including three Grade 1 races - the American Oaks and Yellow Ribbon of 2006 and the 2008 Yellow Ribbon in September. She won seven other graded stakes, including the Grade 2 Ballston Spa Handicap at Saratoga in 2007 and 2008.

McCarthy said that breeding plans have not been finalized.

It's hard to decide which of those three affects the game the most. Shark ( he's a Flanders...right? ) really hits me hard.

I couldn't remember if it was Surfside or Flanders....but actually thought he wasn't old enough. He must have been Surfside's first foal. I feel like he ran third in his debut.

Did he? I have no idea.

Anyway, maybe you can go visit him at stud.

You know who you should go visit?

Colonial Colony.

1. Cause I love him to death and 2. cause i remember reading he wasn't exactly doing well at stud.

Maybe some tips, some motivational speaking? Just a thought...

Thanks in advance.

Lukas had him. Ran him way above his head early and never really developed after that. I know that's a shocking revelation for a Lukas-trained horse...


at least her 2yo has shown some ability, Saturday's result not included (heard he may have gotten hurt.)

Not from racing (that was 1985) but from stud duty finally...
