Grade I-winning millionaire Antiquarian (Preservationist–Lifetime Memory, by Istan) has been retired “following the discovery of a minor suspensory injury underneath his left ankle,” according to Centennial Farms and its partners who campaigned the five-year-old.“The prognosis is excellent, but he will not be able to defend his title in the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup or make the Breeders' Cup Classic,” read a press release sent on behalf of Centennial. “Antiquarian owes us nothing and has been a wonderful horse for our Centennial partners and the Pletcher barn. He will return to Middleburg, Virginia and we will be announcing a stallion deal in the near future.”Antiquarian, from the first crop of Centennial's fellow GI winner and millionaire Preservationist, was bred by Brereton C. Jones, whose Airdrie Stud was home to the late stallion. Consigned by the farm to the 2022 Keeneland September Sale, he quickly drew the attention of Dr. Stephen Carr and Paula Parsons and joined the Centennial roster for $250,000. He received his early education from Parsons and her team in Middleburg, where he was quickly dubbed, “Baby P,” a nickname that has stuck throughout his career.The highlight of his resume was a victory in the 2025 Jockey Club Gold Cup, for which he received a 108 Beyer Speed Figure, one of his four triple-digit Beyers. He also won the GIII Peter Pan Stakes, and the GIII Westchester around one turn. He was stakes placed in the GI Whitney, GII Suburban and the GIII Blame Stakes. Antiquarian's five victories came at four different tracks.“Antiquarian's record and individuality speak for themselves, but campaigning an elite son of a Centennial star is a unique joy, with much of the same team and many of the same partners involved in both,” read the press release. “He is the leading son of the late Preservationist, who would be among the Top 20 sires in the nation by number of 2026 graded stakes winners. It has also been rewarding to watch his female family develop since he first joined our roster. He is the first foal out of Lifetime Memory and the next two are both winners, including GIII Delaware Oaks and Virginia Oaks winner Fondly.”He retires with earnings of $1,320,350 from 14 starts, and five wins.Dr. Stephen Carr, Racing and Bloodstock manager for Centennial, told the TDN's Tim Wilkin, “He is a great horse; he has been great for Centennial. He has a minor, minor, suspensory injury underneath his left front ankle. It's not that big a deal. He will get over it shortly but not in time to make the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Breeders' Cup Classic, which was our plan. He has done everything he can possibly do for us, so we are going to retire him. I have a few stallion deals in the works; I will be announcing that within a week or so. As the old saying goes, he doesn't owe us anything. We just want to take good care of him now and find a good stud deal for him.”Carr praised his consistency and durability. “He was there every time,” he said. “Even though the Jockey Club Gold Cup was marred a little bit with Mindframe losing the rider, he still had a 108 Beyer speed figure and that was the fastest Beyer Speed Figure going a mile and a quarter of that year other than the Breeders' Cup Classic. I would say that was what we would remember most.” The post Antiquarian Retired With Suspensory Injury; Stud Deal to Be Announced appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
