I really enjoyed seeing the Bloodhorse article & picture of Victory Gallop. He looks very well-cared for and well-loved.

He looks fantastic for being 27, I wouldn't ever guess he was that old looking at his photos.ThreeMustangs wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 4:14 pm Izmit Stud Celebrates Victory Gallop's 27th Birthday

Me as well and yes, he looks great at 27. It's obvious the farm really cares about him.TwilightTear wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 7:02 pm I really enjoyed seeing the Bloodhorse article & picture of Victory Gallop. He looks very well-cared for and well-loved.

he's looking fantastic. does anyone know if he stays in Turkey once he's pensioned or if he comes back to the USA? so good seeing how well cared for he is, it's clear he is extremely loved over there.ThreeMustangs wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 4:14 pm Izmit Stud Celebrates Victory Gallop's 27th Birthday

They have never sent a horse back once pensioned. He'll stay there. He is their horse and they obviously love him and treat him like a king.brunanas wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 8:08 pmhe's looking fantastic. does anyone know if he stays in Turkey once he's pensioned or if he comes back to the USA? so good seeing how well cared for he is, it's clear he is extremely loved over there.ThreeMustangs wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 4:14 pm Izmit Stud Celebrates Victory Gallop's 27th Birthday

yeah i'm grateful he has no return policy. he is clearly very loved and will continue to live a wonderful life, i believe it'd be sad for both the horse and the team if he ended up sent back home for pensioning. i wonder if there's anywhere we can get more frequent updates on him, like Facebook or Instagram?Flanders wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 8:16 pmThey have never sent a horse back once pensioned.

He is the all-time leading TB stallion in Turkey by progeny earnings. His best get is Turkish Derby/2000 Guineas winner Call to Victory who entered stud this year.

Ahh!!! I love those whiskers!!!
This is the same stud that also stood Sea Hero, correct? If I recall, he lived to be 29 and held the title of oldest living Kentucky Derby winner for quite a while.

That young man looks mighty fine. I can't ever think about him without recalling poor Real Quiet though. Count me among those who do not have a problem with horses remaining abroad when pensioned as long as they are safe and well cared for. I'm not at all sure that it was a good idea to bring Charismatic back to the states at his age and remove him from safe and familiar surroundings. In my humble opinion, Charismatic was home.

Of the three notable stallions sent back from Japan to Old Friends (Charismatic, War Emblem, Silver Charm), only Silver Charm is still with us. Charismatic died less than two months after being shipped to Old Friends. War Emblem made it through five years but, before he could settle in at OF, the poor horse had to be gelded at a senior age. Because whoever decided to import a stallion infamous for refusing to breed was apparently ignorant of regulations stipulating that an imported stud had to breed test mares to determine if he was carrying an infectious disease.
Alysheba, 24, was brought back from Saudi Arabia in October 2008. He was dead by March of the following year.
WHY does anyone think it's a good idea to uproot senior stallions from longtime homes and transport them across the world...long, hard trips even for young, fit racehorses?
