DORNOCH RETIRED

Top US three-year-old Dornoch has been retired and will stand at Spendthrift Farm in 2025.
After the story was posted first by Thoroughbred Daily News, Spendthrift formally announced the retirement in a Saturday afternoon news release. It said Gargan thought something was amiss with Dornoch after a fourth-place finish in the Grade 1 Travers Stakes last month at Saratoga.

“Dornoch’s performance in the Travers really wasn’t what we expected, and we just have not been happy with the way he’s trained since,” Gargan said in the news release. “We decided to have the vets go over him thoroughly before we started to really ramp up his works for the Breeders’ Cup. That’s when some bone bruising was discovered. The Breeders’ Cup (Classic) was going to be his last race anyway, so given the timing, the right thing to do is to retire him.”

Dornoch emerged as a top contender in the 3-year-old male division after capturing consecutive victories in the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga and the Haskell Stakes (G1) at Monmouth Park. Earlier in the year, he also secured a win in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park.
As a 2-year-old Dornoch scored a maiden win at Keeneland before ending his season with a victory in the Remsen (G2) at Aqueduct.
