OK so I don't have the guts to start this question as a new thread so I'm hoping someonce can answer but still stays low on the radar in case it is an incredibly stupid one.
Has there ever been a high profile race horse that retired to stud (even briefly), and then came back to legitimately race again? |

Thanks! OK so that wasn't too crazy of a question. Was that considered an interesting footnote to his story back then? |

Seabiscuit? While he was recovering from his bowed tendon, he covered mares at his owner's ranch, then came back and won the Santa Anita H.
In more recent times, one of my favorites Silveyville, winner of the G1 Hollywood Derby at 3 in 1981. For a couple of years in the latter part of his career, he would serve his mares in the spring, then come back to racing in the fall, going back to the farm after a couple of races at Santa Anita in the winter. The last year he ran, when he was 8, he won a G3 in January, then came back in late summer to run third in the Carleton F. Burke (G2) at Oak Tree and 2nd in the Citation H (G3) at Hollywood. |
