Canadian Champ, Multiple GSW/G1 winner Say the Word is now at Old Friends. He was bred by Sam-Son, and last raced early 2023. Glad to see this big guy safe and sound.

Last yearโ€™s Epsom Oaks winner, Soul Sister, has been retired due to a reoccurrence of the injury that kept her out of the latter half of 2023. She will be bred to Sea The Stars.

Personal favorite Barber Road, sixth in the 2022 Kentucky Derby, will be retired and retrained as a stable pony: https://twitter.com/Billsimonbilll/stat ... 5223167371

A 15k purchase who made 800k and always tried... every owner would love to have one like him.

"The ten-time Group 1 winner Imperatriz has been retired in preparation to begin life as a broodmare later this year."

I was lucky enough to watch some of this stellar mare's races. She had such a tremendous kick in the stretch.
The daughter of Chapel Royal (Montbrook) has Devil His Due as a damsire, which is cool. I will be interested in who her owners send her to.

She will probably be sold at auction, as she was raced by a syndicate like most of Te Akau Racing stable horses like Melody Belle and Avantage to name a few.She could be auctioned off at Inglis, Magic Millions,NZ Bloodstock or even the online auction site Gavelhouse.

Holy f*ck, the shocker from that is that they actually say that Triple Tap, Theprinceofthebes and Seventh Son are all geldings. And it also means Seventh Son is retired, I don't think he ever even had a workout.

The article lists Olivier, Seventh Son and Theprinceofthebes as members of that "very elite group of geldings," but does not mention Triple Tap in that list. Maybe he's still intact.
