May she find the peace and quiet in her retirement that was missing from handicapping message boards while she was racing.

Good for her.

Curlin and AP Indy await.

Good Luck,

I would like her to be bred to one of the Aga Khan stallions.  That would be some turf horse.

Ugh...No reason whatsoever not to keep racing her and again...the connections take the easy road...what were they afraid of?  Losing again? She was in the best shape ever according to Sheriffs...why bail now?  She will go out a very good horse who was almost perfect because of over-cautious management.

She\'s run longer than most top echelon horses do these days.  

She was pointed for the Big One On Dirt this year and that performance should stop the whole \"plastic champion\" thing but some people just ain\'t gonna give it up.  They could have bailed last year.  That would have been the easy way out.  

Great horse and the connections deserve credit for a hell of a run in her last dance that had everyone on their feet.  

I guess you can\'t please all the people all the time.  It seems to me that even if she WON by a nose a lot of people would still be knocking her, for whatever reason.  I hope she enjoys her retirement and lives a long and happy life.  HP

From the movie \"Dreamer\"

\"You were a great champion. When you ran the ground shook and the skies opened and mere mortals parted.......\"

...or, as Tim Conway once said, \"She ran like the breaking wind\".

Z\'s half brother, the cleverly named Souper Spectacular, won his third straight
turf race for Live Oak Plantation at AQ on Sunday.

Live Oak also campaigns To Honor and Serve, who has emerged as an early KY Derby
wise guy colt for those who feel that Uncle Mo\'s Brilliant!? 2YO efforts will
take their toll on him. The WGs must remind themselves, however, that THS\'s
trainer has had a 30 year HOF career with absolutely no success with Spring
3YOs.
