I said he'd either be retired (cause the owner couldn't care less) or go to Hong Kong. I guess it was the former.

The usual crap:

"We feel it is unfair to keep him going any further given his unprecedented record of achievement in the last six months."

Yes, the poor horse would have probably lodged an official protest had they tried to keep him going any longer.

What a crushing blow to this year's BC Classic. I think they should cancel the race.

Not unexpected, I would hope that some of the others from the Arc field will try the BC instead. Ie. Vision D'tat, Cavalryman, Fame And Glory....besides the by now well known Conduit.
