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.
