The likelihood of this horse coming back and competing at a high level is infinitessimal. Anyone who thinks differently is kidding themself.

I don't think he's going to come back at a high level. Fortunately, looking at what's running in Cali, he won't have to in order to be successful. For me, I don't care what level he runs at. Whether it's in grade one stakes or $5k optional claimers doesn't matter to me. I know how good he was when he was good and those memories won't fade no matter how bad he would do nowdays. As long as he doesn't get hurt, no other ending is a bad one to me. I think those that are saying he's going to get hurt are being ridiculous. Those who are so concerned with his legacy are more concerned with their memories of him than how he's going to feel after a couple of bad losses.
