Retirements 2024

If Rich Strike were to retire now (which he should), what would one of you think his stud fee would be if he were to be stood somewhere?

5k and that might be too high.

Yeah that seems reasonable, but like you said maybe too high considering his record.

In my opinion, his biggest obstacle to finding a stud deal is his owner. Someone would have stood him for 2024 but the owner wanted more than he is worth. A year on and with just more negatively surrounding him, all caused by the owner, will anyone even want to attempt to make a deal?

Yeah the owner/old trainer drama... I just hope he retires and enjoys his life whether or not a stud.

I know I'm old-fashioned, but IMHO, a "perfect racehorse" should be able to hold his form and run more than six races.

Whole heartedly agree. If I was breeding and had zero budget then I'd sooner go to a horse like Hopportunity over ones like Justify, Flightline, Corniche, Loggins etc. Give me a horse that stayed sound and ran passed the age of 3 or passed 6 races.

Protecting the race record and stud value. What is really going on-is he injured?

With that action of his, he was never going to last too long. Sounds like he was going to be done after the BC no matter what. It would have been the Pat O’Brien, the race formerly known as the Goodwood and then the BC Classic and that is only if everything went perfectly. For once Bob’s probably being sincere.

Dreamy Day (Le Havre - Danedream) has been retired due to "recurring colic." She won her only start.

Hopefully she can pull through. That does not sound good at all.
