Champion HALFBRIDLED (Unbridled) has been retired. The
three-year-old filly earned nearly $1 million during her short
but outstanding racing career, compiling a mark of 6-4-2-0,
$959,400.

Unbeaten from four starts in 2003, the Wertheimer Farm
homebred capped a championship season with an impressive 2
1/2-length victory in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1).
Plagued by minor physical problems this year, Halfbridled raced
only twice at three for trainer Richard Manedella, finishing
second in both the Santa Anita Oaks (G1) and Beaumont S. (G2).

The first foal from the winning Deputy Minister mare Half
Queen, Halfbridled has been sent to Kentucky to begin her career
as a broodmare.
