Super Saver, winner of the 2010 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, has been retired from racing and will stand at Kenny Troutt's WinStar Farm near Versailles, Ky.

"The final decision to retire Super Saver was a difficult one that may not be popular with fans but should be very popular with our breeders," said Elliott Walden, WinStar vice president and racing manager. "The bone bruising that was discovered by Dr. Larry Bramlage which limited his performance during the latter half of this year should subside with time. However, it created a risk that he would not return to the form he showed as a 2-year-old and through the Kentucky Derby. He was a top 2-year-old and became WinStar's and Todd Pletcher's first Kentucky Derby winner. We felt like he had nothing more to prove."
