He's a gelding. Of course you don't retire him. D Wayne has turned him into a morning workout fiend and nothing else. He's very unlikely to finish top 10 in the dirt mile. So he'll likely retire. He has done way more than enough. A horse runs 3 good races in his career and those 3 races are the Ky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes. People are still whining about it. More hilarity. In the end Chip Woolley's one legged pickup truck drive did more for racing than Zenyatta, no?? Maybe not, I think both are hated with extreme passion on this forum!!

Retired.

“We don’t want to hurt him or disgrace him anymore,” said Blach, who owns Mine That Bird with his neighbor, Mark Allen of Double Eagle Ranch. “He’ll live out his days here at Double Eagle.”
