Shadwell Stable's Daaher has been pensioned to Old Friends, the Thoroughbred Retirement farm in Georgetown, Ky.
Retired from racing in 2008 following an ankle injury, the Canadian-bred son of Awesome Again out of the Canadian stakes winner Irish Cherry, was best known for his upset win over the heavily favored Midnight Lute in the 2007 Grade 1 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct.
In his two seasons on the track, Daaher collected earnings of $455,163 under trainer Kiaran McLaughlin, and won both the Cigar Mile and the G2 Jerome Handicap. He retired with 4 wins and 2 thirds from 9 starts.
Originally standing at Shadwell's Nashwan Stud in Lexington, Daaher was relocated to Circle H Farms in Abbeville, La., in 2019 before being pensioned.
“We're grateful to Shadwell for allowing us to care for this great son of the late Adena Springs-Old Friends stallion, Hall of Famer, Awesome Again,” said Old Friends President Michael Blowen. “He accomplished so much in his brief career. I know his fans will be excited to see him.”
