I think they may wait to see how he does in the BCC. If he wins he's retired, if he loses they will take it out on Every horse in all the major Stakes races next year.

This is a cute post but ridiculous. What race would he come back for next year, the Whitney. lol. After you win the Classic and you have his pedigree there is no reason to keep racing.

I disagree, imo an important aspect of horse racing is "Racing". What do you prove by winning four to six life time races ?? pedigree ?? please !!!

I agree with this. To me, the whole point of breeding is to breed for racing. It makes no sense to me to retire a perfectly sound horse when he/she can race for another season so that racing fans can check it out. Personally, I hope he runs next year. I'd love to see him up close.

Oh I would love it too. Start with the Donn move your way up and grap the Stephen Foster then onto Belmont to grab the Suburban keep going up I-87 grab the Whitney and then back down to LI and defend his JCGC crown.

Maybe Darley would like to see a Cigar-like campaign. Stranger things have happened.

I expect to see Bern in the World Cup if he remains sound.

God knows that is what this sport needs a traveling superstar.

I’m definitely a dini fan, this is great news !!! I like to see (like rest of the you) a horse with a longer career, unfortunately business aspect demands otherwise. Win a few Graded Stakes and into the breeding shed..
