Regal Glory is coming back this year?

No.. Matriarch was the career finale.

Thanks man. Hard to tell from this article:

https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-rac...female-of-2022


Plus Horse Racing Ration has her as “active”.

I know some of these places are more accurate than others obviously…it sure seemed like the Matriach was a natural career bow.

HRN is not exactly the place to go for acute accuracy:-)

She was going to be retired after the Gulfstream race last year but Peter decided to keep her in training for a final year. What didn't work well for Sistercharlie, worked extremely well for her. Nice that Peter likes to race his horses. He comes out for almost all of them as long as he's local. Good owner.

Heard she’s being bred to Into Mischief.

Always good to see a division winner return and continue to show good form. I thought Elite Power looked pretty good today winning in Saudi Arabia over Gunite.
