Wow he looks great. Hoping they pick appropriate spots for his future races.

He is now retired from racing, per owner Rick Dawson, due to injuries.

Not a well managed career, we’ve seen worse (!), but he was a maiden claimer who won the Derby.
Curlin line is hot, but Keen Ice is a road bump. Deep closing plodders aren’t hot these days.

He is to sell at Keeneland as a stallion prospect, will go through the ring Friday November 17.
I'm interested to see what he goes for and if Dawson has an unrealistic reserve on him. We've heard plenty lately of owners not getting the interest or money that they think their single G1 winning colts deserve, so seeing a transparent selling process like this is very intriguing.

Oh no doubt he'll have a huge reserve. I'm gonna bet his highest bid is 50 k

I believe he was terribly mismanaged- I think he had some moderate talent, that, under the tutelage of a decent trainer could have allowed him to win some races. We will never know of course because the training he had ruined him physically and mentally. I wish him well in the future, where ever he lands.

In the Bloodhorse article he said the only interest he received last year was from Saudi Arabia and Japan. I like how at the bottom of the article it pretty much says, "Don't be surprised if he is sold privately before the sale date".

Hell end up overseers. Idk why Japan would want him I guess there arent any curlins over there? Maybe he would cross well with their horses

A shame his career petered out in this way. He was a good racehorse, and never got the respect he deserved.

I think Japan will buy him, no Curlin over there.
Edit: Nevermind I forgot Structor

Keen Ice.
Pedigreequery was wrong I guess. But it was also from memory, so I must have read someone else who got it wrong. Huh.
