Darley Snaps Up Another

Haskell winner Any Given Saturday will join Street Sense and Hard Spun in stud duties at Darley next year, reports the Thoroughbred Times:

Haskell Invitational Handicap (G1) winner Any Given Saturday will join fellow top three-year-olds Street Sense and Hard Spun on the Darley stallion roster in 2008.
The Distorted Humor colt out of Weekend in Indy, by A.P. Indy, will continue racing for WinStar Farm and Padua Stables and retire following the Breeders’ Cup Classic Powered by Dodge (G1) on October 27 at Monmouth Park.

Think the handicap division is thin now? Wait until next year.
Related news: Wildcat Bettie B, who really came into her own as a sprinter this year, has been retired following her win in last weekend’s Xtra Heat Stakes, trainer Larry Jones announced. “She came out of the race with some small issues and let us know she wouldn’t be ready for the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint” (Blood-Horse). As we all know, there will be no more racing after the Breeders’ Cup on October 26.
