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.
