Has there ever been a high profile race horse that retired to stud (even briefly), and then came back to legitimately race again?
Precisionist did.
George Washington.

Had George Washington not broken down last year, would he have most likely gone back to stud?

It's my understanding he was infertile. Maybe I'm wrong.

I think their are about 5 or 6 foals from GW's rather unproductive stallion efforts...

I guess there is only one filly...

A filly by the late George Washington was born at the Irish National Stud on Monday, one of what is expected to be only a handful of foals for the winner of the 2000 Guineas and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

The foal is out Stefano and Loreto Luciani's Rainbow Quest mare Flawlessly, the dam of a Group Three winner in Ombre Legere and the Grade One-placed Flawly, the dam of Prix du Jockey-Club runner-up Best Name.

To add on to this, I think she sold at this last sale as a yearling......I remember reading something about her being sold somewhere

he got a couple mares in foal, but not near enough to warrant keeping him at the shed.
