He hasn't raced since last July 1st and got a check in a M1 open. Considering he missed the entire end of the season last year and hasn't even qualified this year I would venture that he is basically retired. Maybe Lauren is training him to ride under saddle as she does with others.
He's missed a year before because of injury and raced well on and off when he got here, but never came back to the form he had in Australia before his injury down there. At this point I don't think they would want to put him in against top horses, and to put him in against garbage is beneath him.
