Default Jose Santos retired today

the doctors advised him against riding due to the spill he took earlier this year when he broke his back.

Thanks for all the thrills Mr Santos. Your spot in the HOF is well deserved.
Jose, Funny Cide...green patures for FC and both of you in my heart always.

The '03 Preakness is one of my favorite moments since becoming a race fan. Santos opening his hand in joy and in response to the buzzer allegation is my favorite celebration easily.

Hell Santos hit Funnycide about a 1,000 times when he was going to win easy. I think he's the one that ruined Funnycide.

Someone explain horse physiology or recovery to me in more detail. I have never understood this argument. The horse expanded energy in the Preakness regardless. So if Santos wraps up in mid stretch, that makes all the difference in the world in a race 3 weeks later?? I can't understand that. If I run a hard mile or jog an easy mile...24 hours later I feel exactly the same. I don't see how a half second slower when running that hard and fast makes one hill of beans difference in a race 3 weeks later or 5 weeks later whatever the case may be. If he were running a race 1 hour later I can see it...but to me several weeks seems to me like ample recovery time that those couple tenths of a second slower would make no difference whatsoever in his next race.

Oh yeah, that's it, Santos ruined the horse. He hit him at least 1000 times. LMAO.
