Venerable Multiple Choice retired
 

From Grenig's AQU notes:

Multiple Choice, a multiple Grade 3 winner in his youth, has been retired after several losses at the $7,500 claiming level, trainer Joe Imperio said.

"He's 10 years old, he ran third a couple of times for $7,500, and he's supposed to beat $7,500 claimers," Imperio said. "He retires sound, and I didn't want to hurt the horse."

Multiple Choice is a gelded son of Mt. Livermore who was bred by Peter Blum. Blum campaigned the horse earlier this decade, winning the Sport Page and Gravesend, both Grade 3 sprints in 2002, and the Grade 3 Japur on turf in 2004. Later that year, Multiple Choice was claimed for $100,000 by Patrick Reynolds. He would also run for Bob Klesaris and then Imperio.

Multiple Choice retires with a record of 74/9-16-13 and earnings of $692,450.

As I was handicapping Sunday's ninth, I just kept saying to myself, Hasn't this Horse done enough?? It's a well deserved retirement. A tough racehorse who probably should have been retired a few years ago. I hope he has a great retirement.

I've been saying the same about myself.....:D
