no, he hasn't. with the rush to the shed with so many horses, i'd rather they made the attempt to bring him back. plenty of time in future for him to stand at stud.


edit--just saw this in the bloodhorse article:



'The prognosis is four to six months off, and there should be no sign of it after that. He'll go to New Bolton (Medical Center) today to have another ultrasound."

Prognosis is good for the colt, a homebred son of Dixie Union owned by Phyllis Wyeth, to return to racing next year.'

Retires- errrrr rests- with some of his reputation which is better than I think he would have had if he kept racing and moved on to face older horses later in the year.

He's done enough . . . .

IMO I think he will be back; he is the best the owner has had, she is old school, Michael Matz wants him back...he has more to prove although he is top 2 year old, successful at 3, and is gorgeous with pedigree for success at stud; hope I am right, .
