GREENFIELD CENTER, NY – MAY 28, 2015 – Old Friends at Cabin Creek, the New York satellite of Georgetown, KY’s Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Center, is pleased to announce the arrival Thursday of Be Bullish.

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.

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 more than a million in earnings, will live out his post-racing days at Old Friends Cabin Creek near Saratoga, which is also home to Repole retiree Cool N’ Collective.[*]

“Our thanks to Mike Repole for giving this New York favorite the retirement he deserves,” said JoAnn Pepper, owner and manager of Old Friends at Cabin Creek. “Be Bullish gave his all to racing. We’re very grateful to have him, and we look forward to his all of his fans visiting him at the farm.”

Old Friends at Cabin Creek is open for tours Saturdays from 12 pm – 3 pm. for more information see their website at www.oldfriends@cabincreek.com[3].

[NOTE: *Repole has donated two other horses to Cabin Creek: Driven by Success and Roaring Lion.]
