Buy the Sport Retired
Buy the Sport, winner of the Grade 1 Gazelle last year, has been
retired, owner Peter Minikes said Friday. Buy the Sport had only raced
once this year, a last-place finish in a turf allowance race at Belmont
Park.
"She just went wrong," Minikes said. "She never
really was right since she came back from the farm. There's no sense
going on with her."
Buy the Sport, a New York-bred
daughter of Devil's Bag-Final Accord, by D'Accord, began her racing
career in Europe. She made her North American debut last September at
Belmont, where she won the Gazelle at 47-1. She ended the year by
finishing third in the Beldame and fifth in the Breeders' Cup Distaff.
Buy the Sport retires with a record of 3-0-1 from 12 career starts and
earnings of $356,705. Minikes said it has not yet been decided to whom
Buy the Sport will be bred.
Minikes said Indy Five
Hundred, who won the Grade 1 Garden City the day after Buy the Sport
won the Gazelle, will be forced to skip Monday's Ballston Spa Breeders'
Cup because of a fever. Indy Five Hundred has not run since finishing
last in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup last October at Keeneland.
