Fashionably Fast, a six-time stakes winner for breeder and co-owner Harris Farms, has been retired. Trained Dean Pederson said the 7-year-old gelding was sent last week to Harris Farms in Coalinga, Calif., where he will reside.
“He'll have a great life there,” Pederson said. “Mr. (John) Harris will take really good care of him.”
By Lucky Pulpit, Fashionably Fast compiled a record of 33-10-8-7 in five seasons of racing with $807,143 in earnings. His final race was a fifth-place finish in the Oct. 8 Harris Farms Stakes at Fresno. Fashionably Fast's six stakes wins included two additions of the Harris Farms Stakes at Fresno (2019, 2020), two runnings of the Tiznow Stakes for state-breds (2020, 2021), the 2020 California Cup Sprint Stakes and 2019 Cary Grant Stakes.
Fashionably Fast had been breezing at Santa Anita towards a possible tilt in this year's edition of the Cal Cup Sprint on Saturday, but last week the decision was made to call it a career. He retires as the highest-earning horse ever trained by Pederson.
“He was just very competitive and the older he got, the more he enjoyed his work,” Pederson noted.
