Monmouth Park Barn Notes for Thursday, June 14, 2012

NINE-YEAR-OLD PRESIOUS PASSION RETIRED

The career of multiple Grade 1 winner and grass specialist Presious Passion, who finished second in the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Turf and has been a longtime favorite at Monmouth Park, has come to an end.

The 9-year-old gelded son of Royal Anthem out of the Marquetry mare Princesa’s Passion ran his final race this past Sunday, when he finished next to last in the Grade 2 $200,000 Monmouth Stakes.
