@suerowsell @yusas The current plan, as communicated by @coolmoreamerica in a release last month, is for him to stand a second season in Japan in 2027, and return to the U.S. following that, in the summer of 2027.

[Nicole Russo @NRussoRacing]

During American Pharoah’s tenure in Japan, I’ve quite enjoyed that @yusas posts a “good morning” from the horses while meanwhile, with the time difference, my day in Kentucky begins to wind down. It’s become a pleasant evening ritual for me.

It’s bittersweet to know Journalism’s racing days are over, but we’re so proud he’s safe @coolmoreamerica where he’ll now prepare for his next chapter as a stallion. We know he’ll live a life fit for a King and be given every opportunity to be an influential sire. #BelieveBig

Home is where the horses graze 🐎

[Nicole Russo @NRussoRacing]

This is awfully lovely.

Looking forward to what Journalism can do at @coolmoreamerica, particularly with what sons of Curlin are accomplishing, but will miss seeing this very likable throwback on the racetrack for @EclipseTBP @mwmracing et al. 🦍

[Del Mar Racetrack @DelMarRacing]

Best of luck on your next adventure, Journalism. 🫶🏼

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Happy #milestoneMonday (is that a thing? It is now!) from Upperville, who recorded his very first official workout today! He went 3-furlongs in 37:98 outside of company at #Saratoga.

Seeing kids excited about the horses, jocks & racing @NYRA yesterday was refreshing. Maggie and her daughter analyzing the horses, and the two boys “Riders Up”. Good stuff.

Terribly sorry for Cornucopian and those that loved him.

He had bigger wins from a class perspective, but I will remember this particularly game performance: https://t.co/fmmRTgpHqw

[Tom Ryan. @TomRyanKY]

Heavy hearts today. Yesterday, our brilliant colt Cornucopian sustained a catastrophic injury. We worked very closely with our veterinary team, and after hearing every expert opinion available, the kindest and clearest decision was to let him go with dignity. He was a brilliant colt with a huge heart and a partnership and fan base that loved him dearly. RIP.
