Classic Empire

Will not be starting in the Pennsylvania Derby on 9/23.

Decent record… 4 wins out of 5 starts as a two year old. Less stellar record as a three year old; 1-1-1 out of 4 starts.

Been struggling with minor injuries all year.

Think he’ll be retired rather than race again and stand on his past performance?

Ideally I wish he could take some time off to recuperate at a farm and come back to race at 4. I don’t think a 4 year old campaign is planned though in which case I bet he will be retired
