Retirement
Invasor was retired on June 23, 2007, due to the fracture of a bone in an area he had injured when he was younger. He now stands at stud at Shadwell Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, for a stud fee of $20,000 live foal; his first foal (out of the stakes-winning Danehill mare Abby Road ) was foaled on January 11, 2009.
His first progeny were sold at Keeneland Sales in Kentucky.
