Isn't Strike the Gold or Hansel or some other such obscure Classic winner of relatively recent vintage in Turkey somewhere?

Found an article from 2003 where they talked about bringing him back, but not sure if it ever happened.

Nope, never happened. After Old Friends sold $50 certificates trying to raise the money, too. The TJC knew how badly Old Friends, Zito, etc wanted him back, and charged accordingly I think. I feel I saw something on tv during the Derby about him being pensioned. They said "retired" which I took to mean from stud, not to stud, but who knows. Gotta remember not everybody watching the Derby (like 'pick a horse by name or color' people) is gonna do the math and figure out he can't possibly still be running so maybe they spelled it out. He's old enough to be pensioned though.
