He runs until he breaks down...."It is the business we've chosen."

So the previous owners hit $1 million and kept going? Ok, I think I'm allowed to call anybody who races after that point jerks. It was understandable enough (though not applaudable) when it was a matter of hundreds of dollars until he hits a milestone like that. He could've gone out a winner to boot. Hopefully he'll at least go out after that 10th place. If you thought it was bad when Monzante broke down, wait til a millionaire has to be euthanized. The outrage will be deafening. Talk about a PR nightmare too.

It's not just about the big name horses, but it's what they represent about our commitment to dealing with this issue. Definitely hope the new connections do the right thing. Maybe they claimed him for that purpose. He's earned a retirement many times over.
