Default Champion Untapable Retired

http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...apable-retired

got hooked into singeling her on saturday, and if she didn't retire after that performance she would have been faded from here on out.

Glad they made the decision. But, I'm also glad they ran her as a 4 and 5YO.

Not convinced she was finished. I'm one to believe the horse is peculiar as all get out and was a creature of habit.

Nevertheless was a solid career.

Is this simply a case of a horse that has "it" in the mornings still, but for one reason or another isnt really worried about hitting the finish line first anymore?

If such a thing even exists....

Agreed but missing the 2016 breeding season is a 7 figure mistake

I doubt Ron Winchell is beating himself up over that.

Still love the oaks call on her.

when these girls go off they stay off. She wasn't horrible by any means older but I don't think they would have been able to achieve different results had they kept running her. Would have been a hard knocking second and third type but that's it.
