Multiple Grade I winner Englishman (Maxfield) has been retired from racing following a routine end of season vet exam, and will take up residence at Lane's End for the 2027 breeding season, the farm announced via press release Monday.The decision to retire Englishman from racing was made following a routine end of season veterinary exam that revealed a flake in both ankles, which were subsequently removed. He is anticipated to be available for inspection beginning the first week of December.Campaigned by Lee and Susan Searing's C R K Stables LLC, the son of Maxfield garnered 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' honors on his debut September 2025 before going on a layoff until March of this year. Returning with another sensational performance at Fair Grounds against allowance company, he made his graded debut in the GII Pat Day Mile Stakes at Churchill Downs and after that runner-up effort, remained racing against elite-level company for the rest of the year.Adding runaway victories in the GI Woody Stephens Stakes and GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes to his resume, he made his career final start in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Keeneland Oct. 31 when running a valiant second to Japanese sensation T O Elvis (Volatile). He retires with a 6-4-2-0 record and $1,134,500 in earnings.“Englishman is the fastest horse I've ever worked with,” said trainer Cherie DeVaux. “When he gets into full stride, he is something to behold. I had an inkling of it when he first started training, but when he broke his maiden I knew the sky was the limit. That other worldly talent was evident in his Woody Stephens victory, and his win in the H. Allen Jerkens was special for so many reasons.”Englishman's dam, recently purchased at the Fasig-Tipton November sale for $2.1-million, is a daughter of GISP All Due Respect (Value Plus). He is a half-brother to SP Thought Control (Gun Runner) and two other winners.“There is no doubt about Englishman's speed, which he displayed every time he stepped on the track,” said Lane's End president Bill Farish. “He is a correct and beautifully made horse, as his yearling sale price reflects. That combination of brilliant speed and exceptional looks will be of great appeal to breeders and makes an excellent addition to our roster.”The post Multiple Grade I Winner Englishman Retired to Lane’s End for 2027 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
