Today, Red King is a beloved ambassador for Thoroughbred aftercare, representing retired racehorses at events like the Breeders’ Cup, Pony Express Re-Ride, and Thoroughbred Makeover. Though his racing days are behind him, he continues to win hearts wherever he goes.

Bletchley Park (by Nyquist out of Spinning Wheel) sold for $2.6 million as a 2-year-old and won four races before a sesamoid fracture ended his racing career. He entered CARMA’s Placement Program and was placed with CARMA aftercare partner Healing Arenas, Inc.
Now known as Nimitz, he serves in Healing Arenas’ Stable Vets Project, helping veterans build confidence and connection through equine-assisted services. Sometimes a Thoroughbred’s greatest legacy isn’t found in the winner’s circle—it’s the difference they make in the lives of others.
