I hope he is a gelding. She isn't going to part with him at least if he is a gelding he can go out with his band of brothers.

Nest, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2022, has been retired; will be bred to Uncle Mo

Repole (...) intended to race Nest this year. She had three workouts this year at Stonestreet Farm in Ocala, Fla. Just before she was to ship to trainer Todd Pletcher’s barn at Saratoga, a diagnostic exam was performed and showed “a slight abnormality in her hind ankle,” Repole said.

Yep, with his flashy markings, I could always find Cascadian in a race. Hard-trying horse, hope he finds the perfect forever home.

Oh wow, I love that flavor of gray. You don't see it too often. I like the dam's name, haha.

I wonder what's up with his brother Grainges.

I'm sure you already searched for him and know this. He raced in Bahrain over the winter, he did not place in 3 races(1 start each in December, January and February). He had ran 11 times from May 23 until Feb. 24. The last 5 of those he didn't place, but he appears to try hard. In 3 of those he was less than 5 lengths from the winner. 2 of his last 3 races he was 13+ lengths behind the winner, which is uncommon for the horse. However, he has had wind surgery 3 times(Feb. 23, Nov. 21, May 20) and is an 8yo gelding. Maybe the breathing issue came back or they just decided it was time to retire him?

So there's hope for Bezos? Wasn't he an Avengers horse?
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

Yes sir, he was. The "Avengers" plus some more owners.

Meanwhile Bezos is currently working at Belmont.

well, hopefully there's hope for Bezos and the dozens of other past Avengers horses who are in similar situations. they're at least aware of Bezos, not sure about the rest. i have to say they did something a bunch of millionaires past owners don't do so there's that to their credit.
