Default Has Giacomo been retired?

If not, where will Giacomo turn up next?

I like Giacomo. Here's hoping that he is a smash hit at stud so that people will quit dissing the horse. He was always a very useful animal, and loved Churchill Downs.

I think he'll be a very useful stallion.

The worst derby winner in the last 50 years, he only won because that bad riding Jeremy Rose managed to get Afleet alex stopped 18 different times, has been whisked off to a career at stud which is surely going to be as mediocre as his racing career. He will end up standing in Korea, or Turkey, a bottom tier market befitting his athletic ability and class.

Russia is trying to get more involved in racing.
