Big Drama

Florida breeder/owner Harold Queen has retired his homebred Eclipse Award winner and Breeders’ Cup winner Big Drama. Breeding plans are undecided.

“He came out of his last race fine,” said Queen about Big Drama’s seventh-place finish in the Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint (gr. I) Nov. 5. “I’ve talked to three interested parties about standing Big Drama and plan to talk to several others.”

I just received an e-mail from Spendthrift. They said to stop by tomorrow (Fri) during their breakfast, see their stallions. And to visit with Court Vision before he goes to Canada.

Huh? is he retired? Will be be standing in Canada?

HRTV nor TVG said anything today about this.
