Multiple graded stakes-winning turf sprinter Green Mask (Mizzen Mast), who was retired in September due to a sesamoid fracture, has arrived at the Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Center in Georgetown, KY. Campaigned by Abdullah Almaddah and trained by Brad Cox, the millionaire finished first or second in each of his seven starts last season at six, capping things off with victories in Woodbine's GII Highlander S. and Saratoga's Troy H. “Green Mask always gave 110% on the track, so when he was injured it was devastating to the whole team,” said Cox. “We're so thankful to New Bolton Center and Dr. Richardson, who helped save his life and make retirement even possible. And we are so grateful that Green Mask will now spend his retirement years at Old Friends.” Old Friends founder/president Michael Blown added, “Our thanks to Brad Cox, Mr. Almaddah, and the people at Dell Ridge who took such good care of Green Mask following his surgery. We're very thrilled to have him with us. He was a wonderful racehorse that certainly earned his retirement, and his wonderful disposition, I'm sure, will make him a big fan favorite.”
