Five-year-old bay mare Bootylicious has been officially retired from competitive racing.
The daughter of Key To Power out of Keep The Faith will now take up residence at the Paradise at Spring Village Stud Farm, located in St Catherine.
Confirmation of Bootylicious’ retirement came from her trainer, Peter-John Parsard.
“Yes, the decision has been taken to retire Bootylicious after what was a stellar career,” Parsard told Quickgallopja.com. “As you are aware, she last raced on Sunday, October 5, 2025, winning over the five-straight course in the Nigel Nunes Memorial Cup.”
Parsard also confirmed that Bootylicious emerged from her final racing engagement in excellent condition.
“After she raced on Sunday, Bootylicious came back in fine fettle—sound and injury-free, as if she wanted to race again right away. But we’re looking to the future, and the ownership group has decided to retire her,” the trainer explained.
Bootylicious raced 21 times, securing 10 wins, three second-place finishes, and two third-place finishes. She departs the racing scene for her new life at the breeding farm with career earnings exceeding $8.5 million.
Trainer Parsard indicated that Bootylicious will most likely be mated with the stallion Pipeline, one of four currently standing at Paradise at Spring Village. Pipeline is an American-bred by Speightstown out of Vivo Per Lei.
The other three stallions at Paradise are:
Bern Identity (Bernstein – Maddalena),
Atoka (Union Rags – Splendor Town), and
Big City Bob (Shanghai Bobby – Southern Accents)
