from RockportHarbor.com:

The surgery went very well this morning. Dr Bramlage told me that it would be almost impossible for him to return to anywhere near his level as a racehorse. After my discussion with Dr Bramlage, I decided to retire him. I am not sure if I will stand him myself in either Kentucky or possibly Florida next year. There is always the possibility of selling him as a stallion prospect.

Song of Soloman came out of her race Saturday with knee problems. She is being examined by Dr Bramlage this afternoon. I will report on the web site as soon as I speak with him.

On a better note, Larry was very happy with Friesan Fire’s workout.

another horse retired so young...never lived up to the hype as everyone expected.
