Where is the Monkey?

[cowgirlintexas]

O.k.. O.k.. I know all of you are sick of talking about this horse, but just out of curiosity has anyone heard if he retired now to stud as well as most seem to do at this time of year? If not, has anyone heard if he plans on running again any time soon? My guess is he goes off to the shed. Stud fee of about $50k

He is with Pletcher's SoCal string at Hollywood Park

closer to $50 dollars than 50k.

If he stands for $5K it would be a face saving measure. He might have a shot at $2500 and even that is a stretch. They'd be much better off racing him if they can. Give him five or six tries and he might break his maiden. And seriously, the gap between the maidens and the stakes horses next year is going to be about 7 lengths.

dude, you seem rather pessimistic tonight!

He hasn't even got the pedigree to make a stallion. He'd make a nice gelding though.

I can confirm he is now at Coolmore (sorry if anyone has posted this before).

However, I'm not sure if he is there just for a break (like he needs one) or whether he is actually there to stand as a stallion.

I agree, was going to say something like that myself.
