He probably wasn't retired because he's a turf horse whose pedigree (by Kipling) isn't that fashionable. They likely concluded, correctly IMO, that he is worth more to them racing (earnings plus marketability of a high-profile horse) than selling him to the breeding shed. If he was by a fashionable sire, it's doubtful that he'd be racing this year.

I couldn't agree more....and even with that they are planning an aggressive three race campaign for him this year.

One of the best things about turf racing is that turf horses have little to no value as sires and thus we get to see them race for more seasons.

maybe another added benefit in socal with synthetics, no one will want them so they will race longer?

Another benefit? What's the first one?

Just because they wear nice itallian suits and own the next possible triple crown winner doesn't mean they are bad people. The heads of that operation must have worked hard to earn the money for thier success. Do people just get money from heaven and start a succesful stable??

If you still dont like them then do us a favor and dont bet on them so others can cash in.

One would think that IEAH would move far away from having anything to do with a trainer with a checkered past.

I agree , the least they could have done was get a trainer who is questionable but without any suspensions. But Drugtrow?This guy has tested some of stuff on himself.

Oh, god bless those noble souls. They returned a son of the legendary sire KIPLING to the track, and are planning on giving us the pleasure of seeing him all of THREE times this year. Forget it, I <3 IEAH now.
