Rapid Redux might retire soon

Rapid Redux, the record-setting starter-allowance runner, is on track to make one more start in 2011, but might soon be retired from racing, his trainer, David Wells, said Wednesday morning.

Wells said Rapid Redux had come out of his 21st straight victory on Tuesday at Laurel Park “really well,” and was scheduled to go back to the track on Saturday morning after a few days of rest at Wells’ farm near Penn National Racecourse in Pennsylvania.

“He cooled out sound, ate his dinner last night,” Wells said. “He’s sound and bright and looks really good.”
