I think he claimed him a few months ago with Bruce Levine..He should have retired him then. Its a good thing he came to his senses better late then never. Maggie Moss tweeted she was the driver behind the action. I dont what to think except watching him race for these years has been a my pleasure.

Out of all of the horses out there running who shouldn't be....I don't get the rush and push to retire a horse who seems pretty happy right now.

Because unless he's a gelding, the real money is in the breeding!!! If he's a gelding, WTF, but I'm sure the eminent Repole has his Italian egomaniacal reasons.

We definitely need people retiring healthy horses in this day and age. Considering our field sizes are so great and all.

So happy this was done!

The goal should be to retire a horse before they run their very last race and are still usable in other ways. Granted, Be Bullish will be at Old Friends, but there are many horses out there that should be retired, re-schooled and given a new job. Don't run every last bit of soundness (or worse, life) out of them.

Don't think anyone is suggesting running every last bit of soundness out of them. There has to be a middle ground there somewhere.

Not feeling your injuries is not necessarily healthy. All situations arent black or white. I agree healthy horses that slow down shouldnt be retired just because they lose a step. I have trouble believing he was a healthy horse and not a product of a healthy batch of whatever and lots a back class. He was recently on vet list and while this is anecdotal evidence of health or lack there of its has to be considered in light of the trainer and his lack of reputation.
