Generally turf horses seem to.

IMO -- Gio Ponti has stuck around for the simple fact that he's been more valuable racing than breeding.

Had he accomplished the same success in dirt racing -- he would have been whisked away a year or two ago because he would have been worth more in a breeding shed VS a campaigning on a race track.
