 One year after his win, Cash for Keeps was formally retired in a ceremony at the 2001 Celebration.He wore his sire's horse blanket and was ridden by Gilmer to the song "Remember Me" from the "Coyote Ugly" movie soundtrack.At the end of the ceremony Gilmer dismounted, attached the reins to the saddle so they could not drag or catch Cash for Keeps' feet, and allowed the horse to exit the arena by himself.
