Cafeoutdoors.com: Triple Crown this weekend?

Welp, that was awesome to see. He did what he needed to do and now gets to live like a king and have sex for a living, the rest of his life...

I did see where his owners are talking about racing him some more. I can't imagine anyone is that stupid but I guess you never know... I would hate to see it happen but a little part of you would have to snicker if he ran a race, got injured and had to be put down... I'm sure the folks that paid $30 million for his breeding rights will have something to say about additional races...

Last summer I had the opportunity to spend part of a day at a premier breeding farm in Lexington, KY. Lane's End A few of us got a personal tour of the facility and were shown some multi-million dollar stallions. I also got a brief lesson in the business end of breeding these beasts. When you understand the stud fees and the math, you quickly understand why it would be idiotic to run this horse in even one more race...

I guess when you already have tens or hundreds of millions, taking a risk like that is not so risky. But I still wager this horse will not run again. Common sense will prevail...
