that is very sweet.
artie at his best was breathtaking to watch. we all know that a horse can't always run at their peak. that's why they're called peaks. all we can ever do is hope the valleys aren't too far below! thanks for sharing your story.

I love the Human Interest side of stories in sports, and for that matter any activity. Nice to see someone post something positive in nature after a bad weekend for those involved with this horse. Good stuff and thanks for sharing.

He's had a great career and you all will know when he's had enough. If he is ready to retire do the right thing and retire him. If he wants to go on just let him be 100% fit.
The very best to all and thanks for the great races he has run.

Thx to Getaway..
Thanks Getaway for the info. I wasn't aware of the backstory of "Artie" either..
I was very pleased for Team Artie when he won the Mile last year as I believed he was really due for the one "big" win. Jimmy Jerkens had said it would be the biggest failure of his training career if he couldn't get Artie Schiller to win an important race, and "JJ" is an easy guy to root for... No matter what happens going forward, it's great that all concerned have the career 'chops' with Artie... He's always tried, even when falling just short. A really nice horse who won the hearts of a lot of fans, and obviously nice people involved with him.
