Mr Muscleman, the $2,000 yearling purchase which went on to earn in excess of $4 million in purse earnings, is acclimatizing to his new home at the Kentucky
Horse Park.
According to a report on equisearch.com, the nine-year-old Muscles Yankee gelding arrived on October 16.
"We're very thrilled that he's there," said Adam Victor, Jr., who owns the iron-tough trotter with his father. "We had been in discussion with about 20 people for about the past year to try to have him retired to the Horse Park."
"He was a hit with our staff from the moment he walked off the van, and Mr Muscleman's gentle disposition will quickly make him popular with our guests as well," John Nicholson, executive director of the Kentucky Horse Park, was quoted as saying. "He stepped right into his role as an ambassador, and he'll be a great representative for the wonderful sport of trotting."
