Just like Frankel with Sightseek in 2004.

I've spoken with Frankel about Sightseek and you really can't believe how much admiration and love he had for her so I can understand that he'd want to end her career on a brilliant note than possibly recreate her lack of efforts in California. That kind of approach isn't going to win Eclipse awards, but he did what he thought was right for such a wonderful horse.
