Sad to see him go, but definitely a well deserved retirement.

Couldn't agree more, he was so much fun to watch. He'll be missed, but at least he's still happy and healthy.

A cool horse, I hope retirement agrees with him. Hopefully they'll give him something meaningful to do.

I'm so happy to hear the news.

My favorite memory...

(I mean can anyone watch this race without smiling?)

Hope he has a long, happy and healthy life.

Thanks for posting that MMSC. His loss in the BC Turf was just an amazing performance, too.

2009 United Nations was my all time favorite of his - goes out 19.4 (?) / 45.1 by 20+ lengths and holds off Lauro. So glad to see he's being done right by the connections.

Happy retirement but can we not delude ourselves into thinking this horse had a grueling career? Please?

No one is being psycho or delusional, Coachie.

The people who like him just love him to pieces. That's all.

Kinda like you.
