Definitely hoping that he somehow makes it to the Classic in good order. Heck I would even consider a trip to Keeneland if he did.

Baffert has had a distaste for toga lately, hasnt he? And he could face elders if he goes in the pac classic.
big ifs. Well, huge ifs. I can think of tens of millions of reasons why he wont run again...

But, that wont happen. Hell, maybe he'll turn out sterile and they can keep running him.

I don't think we've seen his best race yet. He's run and won on 6 different tracks across the country against the best 3YO's they could throw at him and except for the Derby, where he did have to dig in to win in style and save his first start, he has handled the rest with ease.
I'm looking at a picture of him in SI getting a bath before the Belmont and his muscles ripple from his neck & withers to his hip and thigh. He even has a equine 6 or 8 pack on the side of his stomach. Can't see the underside. We know his stride is longer than Secretariat's was and he stays in the air like freaking Pegasus. The Michael Jordan of horse racing. He is a thoroughbred treasure for us all to enjoy and behold and I have to believe he'll impress us even more down the road.

I want to him race the rest of this year but would be shocked for him to ever even work again. The insurance premiums will be massive considering they will be insuring against in the shred. guessing 200k to start with 125 book max
They have to say what they are saying now but doubt Coolmore cuts that insurance check with nothing to gain, and everything to lose My guess is a slight hip fracture, like an illum, will be the excuse.

Article about his arrival back at Churchill includes video. Pharoah kindly stopped and posed whenever he saw a camera. Hilarious.

I'll take a Breeders Cup Classic entry and a win. But he'll have to race at least once or twice before that. I'm convinced that Zayat is true to his word and wouldn't lead the racing public and real fans on. He has this worked out with Coolmore, don't kid yourself. Zayat still owns controlling interest in him, so go figure. If I'm Mr. Zayat, wish I was tight now, I'd be very selective but run him for sure, if for nobody else but for me and my family.
Lastly, probably not though about all this, is that I don't think any of us understand how significant this horse is, how special he is and how important what he did this weekend will prove to be. We'll find out as the next few months and few years go by. Is there any horse right now that's more worthy of all this hype? None, thank you very much. I can't wait to get in the office tomorrow and high five all those interested parties up and down the hallway and in and out offices. It will wear off soon, maybe.

Zayat
He promised. I assume his word is good. That means he's gonna run. Only a real icehole would retire him now. The hoss has earned the trip to the Spa. A Travers day for the ages.

"I personally made a promise to my family and to the fans more than anybody else," Zayat said. "We need to enjoy our stars and race them as long as we possibly (can)."
Let's hope he comes through for us.  Excerpt from a "Bloodhorse" story.

If he beats Honor Code in the BC Classic, plan for Dubai then retire after he wins
