Dammit--your headline had me worried for his life. Given that initial shock, I'll take his retirement OK.

Paddy O'P is one of my very favs. He owes me nothing. I owe him a truck load of carrots.

Sad news but always thankful when it's not life threatening.

Too bad. I was so pleased with his Dixie run and thought I could look forward to seeing a big year out of him.

The Highest of Highs the lowest of lows. One day you win the Preakness another day the super star in your barn is injured and may be retired! I love Paddy as many other fans do so hears that if he's injured it's not life threatening and he can retire to a wonderful life at stud.

Wow it looked like he was ready to dominate the turf division this year.
