The gelding returned off a 15 month layoff for new connections and was eased. No idea what happened to him afterwards. |
Returned from that 15 month layoff with a $40K tag attached to his name, too. Not sure if owner was that hard up for the dough, as he owns several car dealerships in Dallas (never mind the $800+ earned by the horse itself), but whatever.
At any rate, the horse ended up in a ex-racehorse rehab program called LOPE and was adopted by one of its volunteers despite being a bit of a headcase with a bad ankle and two bowed tendons.
Here's one of several stories on the horse's life after racing:
