Default Be Bullish/Mike Repole

Be Bullish romps again today. Mike Repole claims him and says he will retire him. Repole is one of my favorites, like him even more now. Lots of respect to him for doing this.
He has literally done enough, but his last 2 races say he has something left. I guess its still the correct, nice thing to do.

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.
