Robert and Val Yagos' ARCHARCHARCH (Arch) was scheduled to leave Churchill Downs before noon (EDT) on Sunday to go to the Rood & Riddle Equine Clinic in Lexington, Kentucky, for surgery on a condylar fracture to the left front.

Later Sunday, Val Yagos issued an update via Facebook. Although she offered good news about the surgery, she also officially announced his retirement.

"Archarcharch made it through surgery like a champ," she said. "His racing career is over. Too much damage, but he is good and that is what is important."
