There is now a huge Facebook cry for Awesome Gem to be retired (he was a close 2nd in a Grade 1 last out)

I'm talking ten exclamation points demanding his retirement "NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

No workouts, no races since September, training at the fairgrounds in Alameda instead of Santa Anita, waiting to make decision until the day of pre-entries, and entered in a sale in November...

Smiling Tiger has got to be out of the Sprint.

He's kind of been the male version of Blind Luck. Hard campaign as a 3yo, starts the year a bit shaky, returns to form and wins gets a couple of big wins, then tanks in his last race and is likely to miss the BC.

To be honest, I didn't think either horse would accomplish much as they did this year, especially after their 4yo debuts. I certainly thought the news of season/career ending problems would have come much sooner for both.

He is definitely out. Talked to racing manager for owners last night.
