When it comes to horse racing, Horses Wild has got you covered.
Santa Anita Handicap winner Heatseeker, who was recently scratched from the Hollywood Gold Cup (gr. I) last June 28 at Hollywood Park, was retired due to a soft tissue injury that would have required a recovery period of at least 6 months.
Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer for owner William de Burgh, Heatseeker won 7 of 17 career starts and won or placed in 14 of them earning him $1,177,776.
“We are extremely disappointed as we had our sights set on the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr. I), where we figured to be one of the favorites based on Heatseeker’s dominance of his division this year,” said Heatseeker’s owner William de Burgh. “I am very grateful to Jerry (Hollendorfer) and his stable team. We all had a lot of fun with Heatseeker, and I know it is a huge disappointment to them as well. Horses like him do not come around very often.”
Stud plans have yet to be made for the 5-year-old Irish-bred Heatseeker.
