Won The West

[Elgin]

Buck I St Pat was retired last October after a sub-par effort in the Allerage mare trot at the Red Mile. Can we expect a similar announcement about WTW? He remained last throughout the USPC yesterday; Bartlett made an effort to go on with him past the half but there was nothing there. He finished last at 84/1. It's probably time to call it a career.

Totally agree. Just not competitive anymore. Eventually, all those tough miles catches up and that sure looks like what has happened.

  love WTW  He deserves a good home and green pastures.

I believe he is very close to 4 million.

Maybe they are trying to get to the number then retire.

Was kind of sad for a horse with 4 million in the bank to go off 50-1 or whatever he was.

Best looking Standardbred I ever saw, and I've seen a bunch. I'm sure he'll get a lifetime of green pastures, he's earned it. With his demeanor he'd make great pleasure horse. I can't say enough good things about Won The West. I also wouldn't be suprised if he had a long layoff and came back to racing and was a tough rascal again... he loves to race. His connections know that all those monster miles have taken a toll and they look after him pretty damn good. I'm sure that they are proud to have one of the best to ever look through a bridle.

Won The West needs another 60K to hit four million in earnings and another 340K to hit Gallo

My all-time favorite horse to watch race and cheer down the stretch! If he is vet cleared, I hope they keep racing him until he hits the $4MM mark

 

The way that is going, it will take 3 more years....

IMO, no reason to keep putting a champion horse out there to get to 4 million when he isn't competitive anymore. Horse deserves better after everything he has done.

WTW. Done. Torn suspensory front leg. Retiring. Meadowlands Saturday for retirement ceremony. Wow, sucks, but will have good  home.

By the way: 4 mill meant nothing 2 us; fact! Horsemen who we hire, make all decisions, and always will. They are the best. Case Closed.

Sad to hear about WTW's injury and retirement.  A fan favorite, he will be missed.  He was good for the sport and had a tremendous career.

[LVGaryD]

Very sorry ro hear. Without a doubt the finest looking horse of any breed that I ever laid eyes on.

I'm glad you guys all had such a wonderful horse.........he made a big impression on the industry.........and I know you bastards had a hell of a lot of fun! 

[The Skipper]

Awesome horse one of the finest ever to step a foot on the race track IMO.   

I can honestly believe he would be well over 6 million if he had any decent driver early in his career.
