Trainer Kenny McPeek has confirmed that reigning Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna will retire from racing due to mild bone bruising, despite being able to return to training in 90 days. The 4-year-old daughter of Fast Anna retires with over $5.4 million in earnings and 10 graded stakes wins. She will join the broodmare band at Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms in Lexington, Kentucky.

A 20% ownership share of Thorpedo Anna will be auctioned at Keeneland’s Championship Sale on October 29 at Del Mar, offering buyers a chance to invest in her future as a broodmare. Hill ‘n’ Dale and Keeneland officials expressed excitement about her transition from a highly accomplished racehorse to a promising broodmare, thanking fans for their support throughout her career.
