From what a video clip accessible from the above twitter link says, Connect's injury was minor but there isn't enough time to bring him back before the end of the year, hence the decision to retire the horse.BaroqueAgain1 wrote:From Ray Paulick's Twitter:

The boy had two big money yearlings at FT Saratoga yesterday! $1 million and $750k. I'm on my phone so not great at pulling up the info, but very exciting stuff.
Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they sit down right on the horse!
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sittin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say!

Good looking colt, with quite an engine back there.

I didn't realize this at the time, but both the winner and place horse of the Breeders Cup Juvenile were Curlins!
Kudos to Good Magic (who broke his maiden with the win) and Solomini for giving their papa a great showing.
Good Magic is Curlin x Glinda the Good Witch, by Hard Spun. Am I the only one who can't believe a Hard Spun grandbaby could be racing right now? Holy crap, time flies.

The mare's name is just Glinda the Good, though she was a good witch.
She was in his first crop. Great name for this colt.-

Just an FYI-
Room For Me had a Curlin colt on 1/25- and the year before had a filly by him
Mom is a daughter of Harlington so she if from Serena's Song's line
Winner of the Regret and Garland of Roses stakes, Graded Stakes placed- 2nd to La Verdad in the G3 Vagrancy by 1/2 and 3rd in the G1 Ballerina to Unbridled Forever and Kiss to Remember
He's a very calm and sure of himself type- if you are a Winstar Stablemate- there is a cool video of his first day out.
