SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Pure Sensation, an 11-time stakes winner who finished last in Saturday’s Grade 3, $200,000 Troy Stakes at Saratoga, has been retired from racing, trainer Christophe Clement said Sunday. Clement said Pure Sensation came back from the Troy sound, but after that performance coupled with his seventh-place finish in the Grade 1 Jaipur at Belmont on June 20 “there was no point to go on” with the 9-year-old Florida-bred gelding by Zensational, owned and bred by Frank and Patricia Generazio. “He was a great horse to be around, he’s been running in stakes since he was a 2-year-old, it’s a credit to Mr. and Mrs. Generazio’s program that he stayed sound for so long,” Clement said. “He’s competed year after year at the top level; don’t forget he was actually the favorite last year in the Breeders’ Cup [Turf ] Sprint, which was remarkable.” :: Play Saratoga with DRF!
