He's also a bigger horse than AP Indy and I believe they would be looking for a stallion that would balance her out physically. The other factor is that AP Indy may be one of the classiest stallions standing in KY that she could go to and there just won't be too many more of them. My opinion is that they are overbreeding Giant's Causeway...love him to death, but there are sure a lot of them with the shuttling thing and all.

She has beaten the winners of 67 Grade 1 races, 25 horses that won Grade 1 races, 12 horses that were multiple Grade 1 winners, at least 6 and as many as 7 Eclipse Award Champions, six and as many as 7 Divisional Champions, two Breeders' Cup Ladies Champions, broke Citation's, Cigar's, and Eclipse's records, broke Bayakoa's record, beat Rock of Gilbralter's record.

I'm so happy she's retiring sound and happy . . . um I'm not sure how happy she will be, not being able to race again. But now she can relax, have beautiful children. I fortunate to live here in California, but i wish she raced in New York one time so she could have converted some more of you. She took a lot of criticism from there. But now the war is over. No more Rachel and Zeny debates, let them enjoy their retirement. HOTY battle will be fierce, but be respectful. As a Zealot, I hope Zen wins the award, but I praise Blame for being the only one who could hold her off! Seriously, I'm not getting into a heated arguement like last year. If she does not win the HOTY, it will only make her legacy stronger!markinsacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-71095584898009915472010-11-17T18:02:00.183-06:002010-11-17T18:02:00.183-06:00California girls really are unforgettable! ;)Great...California girls really are unforgettable! ;)Great story, Brian.Deedee Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244857795029479420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-66192054667654631022010-11-17T17:54:04.973-06:002010-11-17T17:54:04.973-06:00Comments and opinions expressed by users do not ne...Comments and opinions expressed by users do not necessarily match the views of the author.Brian Zipsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592017304873334271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-5131710509245791922010-11-17T17:46:48.691-06:002010-11-17T17:46:48.691-06:00For she is the Saviour, the new Christ that God pr...For she is the Saviour, the new Christ that God promised would be sent down to save us.<br /><br />Bless you my Saviour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-50145154280191536472010-11-17T15:13:44.987-06:002010-11-17T15:13:44.987-06:00I just can't say goodbye... :(I just can't say goodbye... :(Sami P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-4201592234572532202010-11-17T14:08:31.708-06:002010-11-17T14:08:31.708-06:00what sad news as i believe she has so much more to...what sad news as i believe she has so much more to offer on the racetrack as a race horse...watching her races reminded me of the great forego rolling down the center of the track...well we have uncle mo and so many more to look forward to..so brian you will have plenty to write aboutwilliamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-76265145266310415342010-11-17T13:34:10.255-06:002010-11-17T13:34:10.255-06:00I won't be convinced until she's in foal!I won't be convinced until she's in foal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-48266658505419729272010-11-17T13:17:11.066-06:002010-11-17T13:17:11.066-06:00Breed her to Blame and name the foal "Blame M...Breed her to Blame and name the foal "Blame Me"...<br />May Z enjoy her life in the Bluegrass!
