Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 8, 2024 Journalists Posted May 8, 2024 Champion 3-year-old filly and MGISW Nest (Curlin) has been retired from racing her owner Mike Repole told the Daily Racing Form on Wednesday. The owner who bought Nest for $6 million last fall at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale intended to race Nest this year. After three workouts at Stonestreet Farm in Ocala, Florida, she was set to ship to trainer Todd Pletcher's string at Saratoga, but a diagnostic exam was performed and showed “a slight abnormality in her hind ankle,” Repole told DRF. “Since she wasn't perfect, it made it easy,” he said. “We shipped her to Lane's End, she arrived today. She has a date with Uncle Mo. “We tried our best to bring her back as a 5-year-old and keep her in training. If we didn't have that intention we would have bred her in February. We're going to breed her now; ecstatic about her career, wish it could have been one more season. She was a stakes winner at 2, 3, 4, a multiple Grade I winner, and a champion.” The post Champion Nest Retired, Set To Visit Uncle Mo appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
