Grade 2 winner Stream of Gold, runner-up in the 2007 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic and a course-record-setter at Gulfstream Park, has retired from racing at age 10.
A bay Rainbow Quest gelding, Stream of Gold earned $738,293 in his 33-race career. He will now head for Watchtower Farm, a New Hampshire retirement facility, according to Gail Hirt, who led a fund-raising effort on Alex Brown Racing and Facebook to buy Stream of Gold privately from owner Annette Ellis.
“He just left Fairmount Park today, and we’re very glad to have him,” Hirt said. “He’ll be in good company in New Hampshire. They have some good horses there, and it’s a great facility.”
