I saw him win the WV Derby. Very Impressive winner, and he is Gorgeous.

Here's a picture.
I had a press pass, and was right down there with the track photographer.
The Mountaineer management are great people to work with.

Disappointing, as I actually thought he might turn into a very useful runner next year.

Yeah ... This really sucks ... I actually liked Capital Account better though ... But was looking forward to BOTH of them for Baffert next year ... I hope CA comes back from his layoff strong!

As Starine said on the Breeding Forum thread about this colt:

"Because he had nothing left to prove..."

Very sorry to hear he is retiring. I'm pretty sure he got hurt while he was getting ready for the PD. Full story here.

Kaleem Shah's two-time graded winner and track record-setter Concord Point has retired and will enter stud at Hill 'n' Dale Farm.

A Tapit colt, he will start his breeding career with a $7,500 fee.

Concord Point ended his racing career on a winning note in the Grade 2 West Virginia Derby in August, in which he beat Exhi by a length. That brought his stakes tally to two, his other graded victory having come in June's Grade 3 Iowa Derby, which he won by 8 1/2 lengths in track-record time of 1:40.37. Concord Point also was second to Smiling Tiger in the Grade 3 Laz Barrera Memorial. In 2009, he won his only start at 2, a Santa Anita maiden special weight, by 1 1/4 lengths.

Concord Point leaves trainer Bob Baffert's barn with 4 wins from 6 lifetime starts and $669,260 in earnings. Lee McMillin and Ed Rudley bred Concord Point from the Boston Harbor winner Harve de Grace He is her first stakes-winner.
