Union Rags out for remainder of.. life

[Calzone Lord]

It probably just means that Matz hasn't yet been informed of Union Rags stud deal.

I would be very surprised if he ever races again.

and you're probably right. i think every time i see a horse announced as going on the shelf for a bit is just a way to let people know there's an issue, and gauge interest. have phones been ringing with deals proposed? looks like there have been.
and we all know that horses don't always come back the same. so, risk vs reward. it's always a crunching of numbers at the end.

The only thing worse than the retirements is reading the quotes in the faux articles.

Will this be the new record for the earliest retirements for the entire Triple Crown winners in a given crop?

"The horse is very much in the limelight as far as breeders go at this moment, and they felt like it would be a challenge and a risk to be back in this position next year."


just like i thought.
