G2 Beresford S. winner Ol' Man River (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}–Finsceal Beo {Ire}, by Mr. Greeley), best known as the €2.85-million son of dual Guineas winner Finsceal Beo, has been retired from racing and will stand at Arctic Tack Stud in Co. Wexford, Ireland, according to Racing Post.
A graduate of the Goffs Orby Sale, Ol' Man River broke his maiden at first asking at two and followed up in the Beresford, making him one of the early favourites for the 2015 G1 Investec Derby. The bay failed to build on that promise on the racecourse, however, finishing off the board in five starts over the ensuing two seasons. His best effort came when fourth in Royal Ascot's G2 King Edward VII S. last year.
