I'm sure he's done. I never heard an official announcement, but I'm sure he's retired. He wasn't very sound. He hasn't had a work in months. There's no chance that they will try to run him again. He's a graded stakes winner and he's by Fusaichi Pegasus so he has plenty of value.

Do you think anyone would pay $15,000 for a stud fee? Too much? Too little? just right?

Haskin's slipped in his 'Countdown to the Cup' article on Tuesday announcing the retirement

-- Speaking of Pletcher, with Flower Alley's loss of form, Bandini's and Bluegrass Cat's retirement, Sunriver's injury, and the disappearance from the races and work tab of Harlington, Pletcher's chances in the Classic are not looking too promising. Two of his older males are the tough New York-bred West Virginia and multiple stakes winner Magna Graduate who returned to the work tab on Sept. 1 after four months of inactivity.
