Lewis Michael will be retiring to Three Chimneys at the end of his racing career this year, according to owner Frank Calabrese. The son of Rahy has a stud deal inked with the farm, home of Smarty Jones, Point Given, Rahy, and others, with an increase in the price if Lewis Michael can come up with a gr.I win before retirement.
Chelokee is headed to the Vinery to stand at stud. The colt is listed amongst the rest of the farm’s roster in the Thoroughbred Times Stallion Directory, and rehabilitation for a dislocated ankle has been going well according to those at Rood and Riddle, with the colt shod on both front feet and going for daily walks without bandages (Bloodhorse.com). I wish him an uneventful rest of his recovery and a great life at stud.
