Old Friends at Cabin Creek — the New York satellite of
Georgetown, Kentucky’s Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Center — announced the arrival of
multiple stakes-winning millionaire Be Bullish (Pure Prize) on Thursday.

The New York-bred gelding, who turned 10 this year, celebrated his 19th win
on May 17 when he won a $16,000 claiming race at Belmont Park. It was his 87th
career start in his ninth season of racing.

Following his win Be Bullish was claimed by prominent owner
Mike Repole, who purchased the horse with the sole intent of retiring him from
racing.

New owner Repole noted that Be Bullish “has put in his
time, he’s going out on top, he’s going out in the winner’s circle. If every
horse could have an ending like this, the sport would be in a much better
place.”

Be Bullish, who retires with $1,106,288 in
earnings from an 87-19-26-14 career mark, will live out his post-racing days at Old Friends Cabin Creek near
Saratoga, which is also home to Repole retiree Cool N’ Collective.
