I guess from the tweet he is retired, who knows he could have been retired last year. He last raced in May and last work was in June.

He is a bleeder who ran well over CA tracks but couldn’t use Lasix. Should have probably been retired for awhile.

Current (Curlin) was retired at some point. It was deemed not in his best interest to pursue a 2nd career and his breeder stepped up and offered a retirement home for him.

California-bred 7 y/o Brickyard Ride (Clubhouse Ride) has been retired. He won three G3 events, 5 ungraded stakes, and placed in several graded stakes. Brickyard Ride suffered an injury during a workout in January, and it was decided that retirement would be better due to his age. His owner said he will "take the rest of the year off and enjoy being a horse" (he is an entire).

not sure if his pensioning had been posted here because the search function doesn't work, but V. E. Day is now at Old Friends.

I’m guessing he’ll stand at the farm formally known as Vessels Ranch—where his grandsire stood. It would be nice if a G1 winner like him who also won importantly on turf to stay in his native state.

Silver Peak, 2020 g (Quality Road - Dreamologist, by Tapit) was retired last fall but first I've seen so just putting here. Really nice story on how he picked his new owner.
