Multiple Grade I winner White Abarrio (Race Day) has been retired from racing and will join his grandsire Tapit in Lexington at Gainesway Farm, co-owner C2 Racing revealed in a post on X. An 11-time winner, with four at the elite level–the GI Pegasus World Cup, GI Breeders' Cup Classic, GI Whitney Stakes, and the GI Florida Derby–White Abarrio had earned just shy of $8.6-million during a six-year career. Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. had said Sunday that the son of Race Day would be evaluated after fading to seventh in last Saturday's GI Whitney Stakes, and that a decision on his future would be made pending those results. C2 Racing Stable tweeted the announcement Monday, saying “Afer an unforgettable career – 4x Grade I winner, 2023 Breeders' Cup Classic champion, and a fan favorite through and through – White Abarrio has officially retired. “White Abarrio will now head to Gainesway Farm in Lexington, Kentucky where he will join his grandsire Tapit on the stallion roster beginning in 2027.”
