Wait a While's racing career is over
Wait a While, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2006, has been sent to Kentucky to be bred in 2009 and will not race again, according to Michael McCarthy, trainer Todd Pletcher's assistant trainer in California.
Wait a While, 5, finished third in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Santa Anita on Oct. 24, three-quarters of a length behind Forever Together. She ends her career with 12 wins in 24 starts and earnings of $2,394,917.
"She's in Kentucky," McCarthy said. "She will be bred. Racing is over for her."
Wait a While won 11 stakes, including three Grade 1 races - the American Oaks and Yellow Ribbon of 2006 and the 2008 Yellow Ribbon in September. She won seven other graded stakes, including the Grade 2 Ballston Spa Handicap at Saratoga in 2007 and 2008.
McCarthy said that breeding plans have not been finalized.
