2007 Horse of the Year Curlin will be retired to stud in 2009. Majority owner Jess Jackson said in a statement issued Sunday that he’ll consider offers from farms in Kentucky before deciding where Curlin will stand at stud.
Until his future home is selected, race horse owner Jess Jackson said Curlin will remain in training for a possible horse race later this year, “If an appropriate venue and purse are offered, we would consider one more race in 2008 for Curlin,” Jess Jackson said.
The 4-year-old son of Smart Strike, Curlin, has a career record of 11-2-2 in 16 starts and is the first North American race horse to earn more than $10-million. Unraced as a 2-year-old, race horse Curlin’s major includes the Preakness Stakes, the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2007.
This year, Curlin won the Stephen Foster Handicap, the Dubai World Cup, the Woodward and the Jockey Club Gold Cup a second straight time. He may also win the 2008 Horse of the Year honors.
In his most recent start, Curlin finished fourth behind recently retired Raven’s Pass in the 2008 Breeders’ Cup Classic.
