Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 15, 2024 Journalists Posted February 15, 2024 Popular California-bred Brickyard Ride (h, 7, Clubhouse Ride–Brickyard Helen, by Southern Image) has been retired at age seven after suffering a minor injury in a workout at Santa Anita late last month, trainer Craig Lewis said. “It was nothing serious,” Lewis said. “But Father Time is catching up with him.” Brickyard Ride won 13-of-31 starts, including eight stakes, and banked $925,477 for owner-breeder Alfred A. “Sonny” Pais. His resume includes a trio of graded stakes victories–the 2021 GII San Carlos S. and the GIII Kona Gold S. in both 2022 and 2023. Most recently, Brickyard Ride finished second to The Chosen Vron (Vronsky) in the California Cup Sprint Jan. 13. “He was a fun horse. A fast horse that won a lot of races,” Lewis said. “All good things come to an end. It sure was fun while he was here.” Brickyard Ride last week was sent to a farm in nearby Bradbury where he'll remain for the rest of the year. “He's going to take the year off and then go to stud somewhere next season,” Lewis said.
