Ben's Cat retired from racing at age 11

"There's a lady who comes to the Preakness every year, and she always tells me that when he is ready to retire that she'd love to have him," Leatherbury said. "I called her last night and said, 'This is the call you've been waiting for.' "

Good deal all the way around.

I just caught a posting on Facebook that Bens Cat was in emergency surgery for colic yesterday. The posting did not say what his condition was but that he was on the table for 4 hours. I don't know the poster but it seemed legit. Anyone hear anything about this?
