www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/223460/graded-stakes-winner-mohaymen-retiredSon of Tapit to Shadwell's Nashwan Stud for 2018. By BloodHorse Staff Thursday, 4:46 PM Shadwell Stable's multiple graded stakes winner Mohaymen has been retired and will enter stud at Shadwell's Nashwan Stud near Lexington, Ky., in 2018 for an advertised fee of $7,500. Trained by Kiaran McLaughlin throughout his 13-race career, Mohaymen was unbeaten in his first five starts but went off form after running fourth to champion Nyquist in the 2016 Xpressbet.com Florida Derby (G1). The son of Tapit failed to reach the winner's circle in his final eight starts and was most recently fifth in the Aug. 6 Alydar Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. Mohaymen was the co-sale topper at the 2014 Keeneland September yearling sale when he elicited a final bid of $2.2 million from Shadwell out of breeder Clearsky Farms' consignment. The gray colt flaunted his precocity when he took the 2015 Nashua Stakes (G2) at Aqueduct Racetrack in his second start and capped off his three-race juvenile campaign with a 1 1/2-length win in that year's Remsen Stakes (G2) at Aqueduct. Mohaymen became one of the standouts on the 2016 Road to the Kentucky Derby when he cruised to victories in the Lambholm South Holy Bull Stakes (G2) and Xpressbet.com Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park. After suffering his first career loss in the Florida Derby, he finished an admirable fourth in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1). (more...)

lolol "WAS MOST RECENTLY 5TH". nice way to sugarcoat the fact that he was LAST, BEATEN BY ABOUT 100 LENGTHS!!
I am surprised however by the price of his stud fee. you would think a 2.2 million dollar yearling purchase who showed that much potential early in his career would go for more then that right out of the gate. it must be one of two things. either the word is out that he has fertility problems and that is why they kept running him in his last 2 or 3 races when anyone with half a brain could see he was a pitchfork, or the fact that they did keep running him and he performed so poorly that it soured everyones interest in him. its hard to say at this point but I wont be surprised if he has problems getting live foals in the future. only time will tell.

well at least he was in contention. in fact in someone elses view of it, who we all know, it was an admirable performance because, "he showed speed in class race before fading". lolol.
