The decision was made to retire the G1 and Cal-Bred Horse winner of the Mucho Extraordinary Year. We were sad to see her leave the barn, she was so special to and to all of us. She returned to Starwood Ranch, KY, where she was born, and we await news of whom she will be bred. ️ pic.twitter.com/FZyvnHvdTJ
