Horses retiring

[Liberty Bell]

It's Academic to stand in Canada next year for a stud fee of $6000

Captain Albano to stand in NY next year for a fee of $8500, still has the Matron & Progress Pace left this year.

Sig Sauer to stand in PA next year for a fee of $8000.

Hellabalou to stand in Indiana next year for $4000.

Thank you for posting - I hadn't seen that released.

Reasonable stud fees. Sig Sauer is a specimen, though clearly not a very sound one. I do wonder if he will inherit his sire's tendency towards fertility issues. He has passed that on to quite a few.

 sweet lou will do great at indy 

going to try my 5 mares with him fingers crossed

its a sad game when the top horses in the division are always retiring at 3

hopefully we can get Nijinsky and Mirage Hanover to stay. I think they have alot of potential to dominate the sagging aged ranks.

I doubt TCI comes back but would think some of Ake's make it back.  Would like to see horses like R Melina, Elista Hanover and Allgient come back along with My Girl EJ, Its A Love Thing and Rocket Deo on the pacing side

Its Academic definitely lost a step but he has some value at stud. Never saw the attraction with Hellabalou..half mile specialist i guess

They need more stake races for 4yr old's and less money to the 2 yr old divisions.  2 yr old's racing 12 or 14 times is crazy.  Their careers are over before they are fully grown.  It needs to change.

It’s crazy that there are big money stakes for two years olds scheduled for November 29th. 

I agree - they have to figure something out because not only yhe the divisional champs are going to stud but also other rans.  This waters down the open ranks and creates overbreeding.

Burke's generally aren't afraid to race a horse beyond 3 but I suppose it depends on the demand for TCI now as a stud (or not), and if they (meaning Burke and rest of connections) think he can do as an aged horse. I will say he looked as good as he has in a long while the past 2 weeks. Will be interesting to see.

Noel Daley literally said Sig Sauer wasn't sound enough to go on with. Legendary Hvr clearly the same. We are so flipped with other continents, in particular Europe, with far too much emphasis on young speed. I see no end of that in sight, unfortunately.

I don't think anyone is in a hurry to retire to stud another son of Bettor's Delight (Nijinsky and Mirage Hanover) after Tall Dark Stranger.

Many good 3 year olds came back from last year in the pacing division.

Many are lame so what else is there for them??  Send them to the breeding shed and race the sound ones.   Breed to lame horses and get lame horses..
