Splendora, winner of the 2025 Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1), has been retired from racing, according to an Instagram post from Boyd Racing, which campaigned the 5-year-old mare.
"Our girl Splendora is officially heading into retirement!" the post said.
It continued, "A Breeders' Cup champion and multiple grade 1 winner, she wraps up an incredible racing career with 10 wins from 16 starts, seven stakes victories and $1.84 million in earnings. She's all class, loves to compete and has been such a special part of Boyd Racing."
The daughter of Audible debuted at 2 and shined during her campaign at 3, finishing second in the La Brea Stakes (G1). She returned at 4, earning runner-up honors in the Santa Maria Stakes (G2) and Santa Margarita Stakes (G2). She then reeled off three straight wins, culminating in her Breeders' Cup triumph under the tutelage of trainer Bob Baffert.
This year was perhaps her most successful, as she opened with a win in the D. Wayne Lukas Stakes (G2) and the B. Wayne Hughes Beholder Mile (G1). She added victories in the Shawnee Stakes (G2), Molly Pitcher Stakes (G2), and the Locust Grove Stakes (G2).
Boyd Racing's post added, "A big thank you to Bob Baffert and his team for everything they've done for her, and to our partner Mike Talla for sharing this incredible journey with us! We're so proud of this mare and couldn't be happier to see her begin her next chapter as a broodmare."
Bred in Maryland by the Elkstone Group, Splendora was owned by Randy Boyd's Boyd Racing and Talla Racing.
