Retired! And looking for his special someone.

Anyone with FB can look up Jeff Jeans. There are some really gorgeous pics of IWR on there, plus some info about his unfortunate passing. I'm still really sad that this was the way it ended for him and his new owners.

It's a sad, cautionary tale. IWR deserved so much better than what he was given. I am truly sad that he is gone. I really thought that FINALLY he's going to get the life he deserves.

This horse NEVER caught a break. From scratching as the m/l Derby favorite, to the lawsuit, to his disappearing & reappearing. Mismanaged so much. I always tried to keep tabs on him. Now he contracts a virus and loses his life. RIP beautiful.

Sad. I liked this guy. RIP

City of Light crushed that field. Very flattering for Accelerate.

That is the plan... Ala the Gun Runner way. I will be rooting for Accelerate. Watching a 6 yr old run one last time in a very lucrative race before heading to the shed... Yes please.

That's the plan at the moment.

He will be shown this week as a stallion Then back to California. Train for the Pegasus, which will be his finale. He will stand at Lanes End.

An outrage? Why? Tell me which of the horses that Justify beat, has done anything of real note? He raced in restricted races with suspect fields. There is still a major debate about the way that Belmont played out. I like Justify. I do. Rare accomplishment. Accelerate has ran all year in open company. Winning all but 1. The race he lost (was 2nd)? The horse that beat him just CRUSHED in the Dirt Mile. Very flattering. Very. Eclipse awards are suppose to be given to who has had the best body of work for the year. Accelerate has ran all year and has been doing a superb job culminating with a very excellent win in the Classic over a very decent field.
