Grade 1 winner Visionaire has been retired after not fully recovering from a knee injury.

Stud plans have not been made for the four-year-old Grand Slam colt out of Scarlet Tango, by French Deputy.

Visionaire, a deep closer, rumbled through fog at Aqueduct last March to win the Gotham Stakes (G3) by a nose over Texas Wildcatter. He scored an allowance victory at 6½ furlongs on July 24 at Saratoga Race Course and followed with a sweeping triumph in the NetJets King’s Bishop Stakes (G1), circling the field and drawing clear by 2¼ lengths on August 23.

In two subsequent starts, Visionaire finished off the board in the Jerome Handicap (G2) and Hill ‘n’ Dale Cigar Mile Handicap (G1).

“Visionaire most likely suffered a knee chip in the King’s Bishop,” said Michael Matz, who trained the colt for Vision Racing and Team Valor International. “His next two races were unlike him. Surgery was performed by Dr. Larry Bramlage last fall, but he has not trained to our satisfaction, so the owners have decided to retire him rather than blemish his racing record.” 

Visionaire, who won five of 12 starts and earned $465,882, will be available for inspection by prospective buyers at Paragon Farm of Vision Racing partners Brandon and Diannah Perry in Lexington.

Reiley McDonald bred Visionaire in Kentucky.

Seventh Street had won her prior three races, at Aqueduct , by a combined margin of 16 3/4 lengths. " It was so remarkable for her to come back into the race and do what she did. In my eyes she was 10 lengths the best," Maragh said.

Haynesfield notches his third consecutive stakes victory in Whirlaway Stakes by 6 1/4-lengths, furthering his credentials as a Kentucky Derby contender. He could make his next start in the Gotham Stakes (G3) on March 7 at Aqueduct.

Plaid, a beautiful bay mare with an impressive race record was purchased at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Plaid is carrying her first foal by first crop sire Any Given Saturday and is due in January.  The following horses were purchased at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. Golden Dawn, a lovely [G2] winner by Hennessy, out of the [G2] mare Paved In Gold by Carson City. And five weanlings representing sires Bluegrass Cat, Friends Lake, Tiznow, Distorted Humor and Street Cry.

John and Brandon were at the Fair Hill Training Center early Tuesday morning to see the final workout for Visionaire.  He worked in company with two other horses and Visionaire completed the four furlong workout in 49.1 leaving his running mates behind.

The four yearlings purchased from the sale fit a niche market nicely. The race courses located in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey offer unique incentives for perspective buyers at the two year old sales.

John and Brandon were on hand to see the stakes debut for Pray for Action.  The extreme weather conditions made it difficult to see the race but the attractive gray son of Songandaprayer emerged through the thick fog to place third in only his second start.  He earned $20,000 for his effort.  Pray For Action will be shipped to Keeneland during the month of October to train.  We will keep everyone posted as to when his next start will be.

Haynesfield broke his maiden today at Belmont Park winning in style.  He broke alertly, showed the way towards the inside while keeping something in reserve, then he extended his advantage when placed under mild encouragement after turning for home, then gradually increased his winning margin while being maintained under a mild hand ride.  He won by a convincing 4 1/2 lengths.

The Vision Sales team worked dutifully to acquire nine yearlings at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, rounding off a strong and diverse portfolio. Please view the Vision Roster to see all horses purchased.

The Jerome Handicap (G2) is on October 5th at Belmont park.  This race is for three year-olds going one mile on the main track.  The Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile (G1) will be run on November 29th at Aqueduct Racecourse in New York. 

Majestic Blue (Forestry/Caraida) is a graduate of Vision Sales 2007, LLC.  This colt was purchased as a yearling for $310,000 and sold at the Calder Fasig-Tipton February Two-Year Sale for $675,000 to current owner Darley Stable.  We wish Darley and Majestic Blue continued success.

Visionaire exhibited his preferred running style trailing the field during the early stages of the seven furlong G1 NetJets King's Bishop Stakes.  With two furlongs remaining, Visionaire unleashed an explosive turn of foot, was four wide in the turn and drove home in the stretch to win by a convincing 2 1/4 lengths.  With five wins in ten starts, Visionaire brings his career earnings to $462,287.

Pray For Action is scheduled to start on Saturday, August 16th, at Arlington Racetrack located just outside Chicago while New York bred Haynesfield plans to make his career debut on Travers Day at Saratoga.  Haynesfield will race on the same day as Vision Racing, LLC and Team Valor's Visionaire contests the G1 King's Bishop.

Noticeably feeling good at the gate, Visionaire broke well and returned to business, trailing the field of six to take the 6 1/2-furlong  allowance by a length. Finding his best stride in the stretch, Visionaire wore down the leaders and took charge in deep stretch to draw clear in the final seventy yards. Making this his fourth victory in nine career starts, Visionaire's current earnings are $312,287. Trainer Michael Matz said that Visionaire will be pointed to run in the King's Bishop Stakes (G1) on August 23rd at Saratoga.

Several of the horses that Vision was "live" on surpassed their assessed value in terms of providing realistic returns in the future.  The two colts that were ultimately purchased (Hip #137 & Hip #448) were both RNA's (Reserve Not Attained) in the sales ring, but fair prices were negotiated post sale.  

Under the experienced ride of veteran jockey, Garrett Gomez, Visionaire made a bold move in the turn and challenged the eventual winner Pyro and second placed finisher, My Pal Charlie.  He came out of the race good and Michael Matz is looking ahead to his next race.

He is now pointing to the GIII Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs on July 5th.

He and second place finisher Awesome Preacher were 12 1/2 lengths clear of the others at the wire.  Julien Leparoux knew he had plenty of horse, as he never reached for his whip.  Ronny Werner was obviously very pleased with the colt's performance and believes he has a very bright future.

Visionaire did not find an affinity for the Churchill Downs track on Saturday but he managed to finish twelfth out of twenty.  Visionaire came out of the Kentucky Derby in good order and will return to Fair Hill training center on Tuesday morning where he will be assessed by Michael Matz. 

Post position twelve may have compromised Visionaire's chances of winning the (G1) Toyota Blue Grass Stakes on Saturday, but he made a determined run to take fifth place, beating notables such as Pyro and Cool Coal Man.  Trainer Michael Matz said, "the slow pace probably contributed to his colt's (Visionaire) fifth place finish."  Visionaire will remain at Keeneland until about a week before the Derby and will turn in his final work at Churchill Downs.

The Distored Humor colt stalked the pace under John Velazquez as Eaton's Gift posted an opening quarter in :22.92 and a half-mile in :46.08.  Keep Laughing got within striking distance at the top of the stretch and took the lead at the sixteenth-pole but had to hold off a furious outside run from Hatta Fort to win by a nose. 

"Every time I asked him, he just gave it to me." Velazquez said.  "He felt (Hatta Fort on the outside), kind of took a deep breath and went on again.  I'm very proud of him."

Keep Laughing completed the seven furlongs in 1:22.26 and increased his overall earnings to $100,386 in his three starts.  He is a full brother to Grade 2 winner It's No Joke and is out of multiple Grade 3 winner It's Personal, by Personal Flag.

"If he bounces back quickly, maybe it would make more sense to run in the Illinois Derby, which gives him four weeks between races for both of his next two races," trainer Michael Matz said.  "The colt will tell us what he wants to do."  Matz indicated that he will send Visionaire back to the track this week to start galloping.

Vision Sales sold the Dixie Union/Lakeville filly for $190,000 and the Indian Charlie/Predictress colt was hammered down at $250,000 to the Vision Racing team.  We are extremely happy with the Vision Sales results and are equally excited about adding the Indian Charlie colt to the Vision Racing roster.  This colt has trained very well at our training center and previewed nicely at the sale.  Vision Management is very optimistic about the colt's potential and look forward to his future.  He will now return to Stephens Thoroughbreds to be accessed and assigned a trainer.

The Barretts sale proved to be a success for both Vision Sales & Vision Racing and now it is on to OBS March.

The race at Aqueduct was so obscured by a heavy blanket of fog that the horses weren't visible most of the race.  Visionaire trailed the nine-horse field early and appeared to be out of contention.  The Grand Slam colt reemerged in the stretch and unleashed an explosive kick to win by a nose.

The Distorted Humor colt broke well rating close off the rail, rallied in the upper stretch, and powered clear to win by 6 1/4 lengths as the the 3-5 favorite.  His trainer, Kiaran McLaughlin, was very excited about his performance and is looking forward to developing the colt into a stakes caliber racehorse.  Keep Laughing ran a little green but jockey John Valazquez was impressed with his ability to focus when asked to perform and said that he still had a lot of horse left.

The Mineshaft/Wilzada filly sold for $150,000 and the Forestry/Cariada colt was knocked down for a striking price of $675,000.  The Forestry colt generated a lot of attention within the industry's top buying power houses.  The Darley Team came out on top with the under bidder being Jess Jackson's Stonestreet team. 

The Vision Sales Team wishes both horses continued success and will follow their racing careers very attentively.

A good looking son of #1 fourth crop sire More Than Ready, this colt caught the attention of the Vision management team with his effortless performance at the breeze show, breezing a quarter in 21.2 and covering the ground fluently.  The bidding stopped at $175,000 with Vision securing the colt, who resembles his sire in size, scope, mass, and athletic appeal.  His dam, Victory Trick is out of a family of stakes winners and stakes producers.

The colt will now be shipped to Stephens Thoroughbreds to be accessed and assigned a trainer.  The Vision management team has high hopes for this colt and look forward to his promising future.

In only his fourth start, Visionaire places a very respectable third in the $300,000 (G3) Risen Star Stakes in his first attempt at stakes company.  After settling close to the pace, Visionaire was able to dig in gamely to hold onto third as the first two finishers came from far back in the field.  Likely favorite for the Kentucky Derby, Pyro won the Risen Star beating Visionaire by only 2 3/4 lengths.  Visionaire earned $30,000 in graded stakes earnings bringing his total bankroll to over $78,000.

With much anticipation, Keep Laughing debuted at Gulfstream park on 2/07/08.  Keep Laughing broke well and was hustled to the  front to challenge the leader Understatement, also by Distorted Humor (a $1,050,000 yearling purchase).  Kiaran McLaughlin stated, "I am very pleased with the way he ran today, he will definitely improve next start and should be tough to beat."  Keep Laughing earned $8,000 for second place and we look forward to his next start.

Isabull broke well from the outside post and settled midpack, rallied four wide on the turn and challenged the eventual winner, Liberty Bull, all the way down the homestretch.  Isabull was sold for $190,000 to Alex and Joann Lieblong at the 2007 OBS March Two-year Old in Training Sale.

Team Valor International has acquired a majority interest in Visionaire.  "His impressive win at Gulfstream created a lot of interest" said Brandon Perry of Vision Racing, LLC.  We look forward to an exciting partnership with Team Valor and to continue to be a part of Visionaire's future.
