Starlight Racing's Algorithms, winner of the Grade 3 Holly Bull in his most
recent start January 29, has been retired.
Undefeated in three starts including his five-length win in the Holy Bull at
Gulfstream Park, which earned the colt an impressive 105 BRIS Speed Rating, the
son of Bernardini was considered an early favorite for this year's classics

from the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes the morning of the race February 26

training.
