From HP stable notes.....

I love this one. Happy retirement.

DANCING EDIE RETIRED, SOLD

Dancing Edie, a 5-year-old California-bred mare with a Grade I stakes victory and $782,535 in earnings, has been retired and sold, co-breeder and co-owner Steve Warner reported Thursday.

"She will be going to Kentucky in a few days to be bred and then go to Shadai Farm in Japan," said Warner, who breeds and races under the nom de course Fast Lane Farms.

Dancing Edie, named after Warner's mother-in-law, Edie Fischer, won four races and was second seven times in 21 starts. She highlighted her career with a victory in the Grade I John C. Mabee Handicap in 2006 at Del Mar. She was second in two other Grade I stakes - the 2006 Yellow Ribbon behind champion Wait a While and the 2007 Mabee behind Precious Kitten - and was third in the 2005 Del Mar Oaks, another Grade I.

"It will be sad to see her go," said trainer Craig Dollase, who conditioned her in her last 15 starts. Dancing Edie is by Moscow Ballet out of the Slewpy mare Duchess of Ack. J. Paul Reddam was the majority owner in a partnership. She made her last start with a sixth-place finish in the California Cup Distaff Handicap at Santa Anita on Nov. 3.

The ripple effects from the retirements of Saint Anddan and Mustanfar could devastate an already reeling game.

Where is the yawn smiley when you need one

:D

I knew you'd be upset and I almost didn't post the Mustanfar retirement for that reason, but for the sake of updating.....

I'm not sure which is more tiresome......the announcements of retirements of non-players in the game or my absurd need to constantly joke about it.

Probably a dead heat.

Mustanfar's impending absense has spoiled my night. I always looked forward to his off the board finishes in a few marathons every year. And to think, this was the year he could have run 6th a few times for more money and on major stages.

I like to know who is still running and who isn't... that's why I update it.

My favorites are the older ones.

I can understand that not everyone wants to know or cares but I do.

Another positive about this thread is it gives you a chance to write posts such as this one..... :p

I mean, it's not as if people don't know what this thread is all about. Sure, it's not for everybody, but is there any need to slate it?

You obviously don't like it. Simple solution...... don't respond to it.

I for one enjoy reading the retirements of all the horses, both good and bad ones. Even the bad ones deserve a mention.

What is mmsc actually doing wrong?

Oh relax and stop scurrying to her unnecessary defense. I'm just having fun and she knows it.

I worry about you if you find this "fun"

C'mon, let's all get along and play nice in the sandbox kids.

You need to get laid.

I'm surprised you still remember what that is :D ;)

The elderly only lose their short term memory.

I still remember my escapades with Bea Arthur way back when.

You are so right. I really do. Only if my wife would agree!!
