Evening Attire : It was announced on September 28, 2008, that Evening Attire is being retired, at age ten, due to an injured suspensory. See Steve Haskin's piece in Bloodhorse: http://racing.bloodhorse.com/article/47296.htm According to the linked article, Evening Attire, (by Black Tie Affair, out of Concolour, by Our Native) retired with 15 victories, 16 seconds, and nine thirds from 69 starts, for earnings of $2,977,130. Evening Attire had a huge fan club, and his own website, www.eveningattire.net, which is the first stop for anyone wanting to review his remarkable (and unusually long) career. His co-owner Tom Kelly (also father of his trainer, Pat Kelly) told Bloodhorse: " . . at the final end when it counted, from the quarter pole to the wire, he always put in his run. I’ve never seen him back once. He might have finished second, third, fourth, or fifth, but he was always running at the end, where the best part of a racehorse manifests itself. We’re all going to miss him.” I never saw Evening Attire race, but caught him exercising a couple of times this summer at Saratoga. These pictures are from one of those occasions. His fans (I'm a big one) will miss him . . but his connections loved him and are doing the right thing by him. Retirement plans are uncertain . . . I'll post them here when announced.
