Default Zensational retired


To stand at Hill N Dale.

"Having already won three Grade I races, we feel that he will be more valuable at stud. We are committing a majority of our best mares to Zensational, including the dam of multiple Grade I-winner and Kentucky Derby runner-up Pioneerof the Nile, and we look forward to his chances as a stallion."

"Zensational lost all chance in the Breedersš Cup when he broke badly from the one post,Baffert said, adding, "Hešs incredible. Hešs a beast. He's one of the three best horses I've ever trained--he's one of the few you get in a lifetime. He is as fast, as powerful and as good-looking as any horse you will ever see. He breezed faster than really good horses run."

Here's hoping the owner goes bankrupt.

He runs like a big unsound mess, and he wasn't even as fast as Henny.

Wow that was quick. I mean the retirement, not the horse.

Zensational a one dimentional speed horse who needs to set his own pace. Once he faces adversity he falls apart.

He's a perfect horse to send to stud.

I'm just wondering how Baffert could promote him the way he did with a straight face. He must have been drunk.

I guess he hates the horse because otherwise he would bring him back and win some real races and prove he is the real deal. Obviously he must be the same ole laimo Unbridled Song typically produces.. Fast early yet never often

There are at least three people on DT that agree with him about how great Zensational is/was.

At least two of those three are well respected too!
