I thought she was pissed at me because her dinner was late.

I just feel bad for the horse that he has such foolish owners. Remember Slew's value price?

it's a a good thing they announced he was officially retired...otherwise, we'd have never known the difference between his 'career' and retirement.

I don't think its the horse's fault that 2 rather large egos got into a bidding war and 16million will always be associated with this horse.

I just can't wait to see a string of future claimers with "Monkey" in their name. Submit your favorite names with suggested mares.

So true. And it's not like Pletcher ever touted this horse to be something special. he knew he was in trouble with him at Saratoga as a 2yo when he couldn't find any horses in his barn that the green monkey could keep up with.

They ought to get the Quarter Horse people interested. Some of the greatest QH sires in history were very fast but distance limited TBs, from Three Bars forward. And they breed via AI, so he wouldn't have to leave Florida.

Exactly right. Was under a shove early on in his races and couldnt make the lead in moderate fractions. Anyway, i would have to say he is going to end up living a pretty good life for a horse who never accomplished anything other than a fast 1/8th in a training sale. Lucky Monkey!
