Amber Black really seems to be thinning the herd for her Year Fourteen roster lately. At the conclusion of October Week Three she announced the surprise retirement of Infinite Warcry at the conclusion of Year Thirteen. The bulky black stallion is one of the most devastating closers SIM has seen in recent years and his presence will be missed next season.
When asked why Amber Black has decided to retire the stallion a year early, she had not much to say. SOPS rarely retires horses before the conclusion of their five year old season, the only other incident being Radiance after his win in the Breeders Cup Classic at four years old. The rationale then was that Radiance had accomplished everything Amber had wanted him to, and thus it was time to retire. Perhaps the same is true for Infinite Warcry, who sparkled as a juvenile and three year old but has failed to impress at four.
Rumor has it that another reason for the retirement is that it will allow SOPS to focus more on Italian Ice and returning racehorse Ode To Glory in next year's champion turf races.
Infinite Warcry will be up for stud in Year Fourteen for a booking of three mares. We are excited to see what kind of foals this tall black turfer will produce.
