Revved Up retired

The buzz today is about the Belmont Stakes - will Mine That Bird win? It's another winner that caught my eye in the headline - that of a half brother to Miesque's Approvel. By Sultry Song out of a With Approval mare he was bred by Live Oak Plantation and he will return to Charlotte Weber's Ocala Florida stud...but not for stud duty.

Revved Up is a remarkable grey that is being retired at 11 years old after a nine year career. He won 20 races from 43 starts including 14 stakes - three of those Graded stakes on 13 tracks He was the first horse to win 3 consecutive Bonnie Heath Turf Cup Handicaps His final start was at the Chris Thomas Turf Classic Stakes which he won (for the second time) - and back in 2005 hit a high point with the Canadian G-2 Niagra Breeders Cup Handicap at Woodbine. He earned over a million and a half dollars.

 General Manager Bruce Hill commented "Revved Up's racig career was the embodiment of Mrs. Weber's breeding program He was sound, durable and talented and his record speaks for itself through nine years of racing." We need more horses like Revved Up. As a gelding he has no stud career - just a well deserved retirement. One of his races;
