==Retirement==
One week after his victory in the Travers Stakes, Point Given was found to have a strained [[tendon]] that ended his racing career. He was retired to stand at stud at [[Three Chimneys Farm]] in [[Midway, Kentucky]], for an initial fee of $125,000. He was subsequently syndicated (offered for ownership by numerous owners) for $50 million, the third highest price in history (behind [[Fusaichi Pegasus]] at $60 million and [[Big Brown (horse)|Big Brown]] at something over $50 million).
 
In 2013, Point Given was relocated to [[Calumet Farm]] in [[Lexington, Kentucky]].<ref>[http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/76343/point-given-relocated-to-calumet-farm Bloodhorse.com]</ref> His [[stud fee]] for 2017 was $5,000.<ref>[http://calumetfarm.com/stallions/point-given Point Given at Calumet Farm]</ref> During his stud career, Point Given sired two champions (Canadian Horse of the Year [[Sealy Hill]] and Points of Grace) and 15 graded stakes winners, including Grade I winners Coil, Point Ashley and Go Between.<ref name=Pensioned />
