Keeneland-based multiple graded stakes winner Gear Jockey has been retired, according to Lyndsay Delello, assistant trainer to Rusty Arnold. Delello posted on social media that the 7-year-old horse, a Calumet Farm homebred, retires “sound and healthy.”
Gear Jockey put together a record of 27-5-2-6 and earned more than $1.6 million, winning two graded stakes and placing in five others. He was most recently 12th in the Grade 2 Woodford on Oct. 5.
◗ Bango returned to the work tab on Saturday at Churchill Downs, breezing a half-mile in 48.60 seconds as he prepares to attempt extending his Churchill win record in the Nov. 2 Bet On Sunshine Stakes.
The 7-year-old Bango, a Tamaroak Stable homebred trained by Greg Foley, won an allowance Sept. 27 to give him a record 12th win beneath the twin spires. Six of those wins have come in stakes, including the 2022 edition of the Bet On Sunshine. Overall, he has won 15 of 38 starts for earnings of more than $1.6 million.
