Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 15 Journalists Posted October 15 Last year's Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) has been retired from racing and will take up residence at Hill 'n' Dale Farms at Xalapa in Lexington, according to trainer Kenny McPeek. Additionally, a 20% share in the broodmare will be auctioned at the upcoming Keeneland Championship Sale at Del Mar on Oct. 29. “For everybody out there that's worried about her, you can rest at ease. She's fine.” McPeek said. “She has been examined by several veterinarians. Dr. Bramlage of Rood and Riddle found some very mild bone bruising which is consistent with horses in work at her level and she could go back to training in 90 days, but we have opted to retire her.” Thorpedo Anna retires with over $5.4 million in earnings and 10 graded stakes races wins. She is owned by Hill 'n' Dale Farms, Judy Hicks, Mark Edwards, and Magdalena Racing. “It's an incredible privilege to offer an interest in reigning Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna at the Championship Sale,” said Shannon Arvin, President and CEO of Keeneland. “Her brilliance on the track has captured the imagination of fans everywhere. Buyers now have an extraordinary opportunity to share in her future as a broodmare.” Hill 'n' Dale's John Sikura added, “As a racehorse, Thorpedo Anna is one of the most accomplished fillies in history and has been an exciting horse to watch” says John G. Sikura. “Everyone at Hill 'n' Dale looks forward to being a part of her next chapter as a top broodmare.” The post Thorpedo Anna Retired; 20 Percent Share to be Offered at Keeneland Championship Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
