http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...-monzante-case LA Plans No Further Action in Monzante Case
Of course they don't.  ETA: I listened to the ATR guests today, and I just wanted to say, Steve, that I appreciated the discussion and the issue that many people, when offered money to buy these horses for retirement, just don't want to do it. They want to campaign the horse, and probably don't like to admit that the horse may be a ticking time bomb because that would reflect negatively on them. They might believe there are a few more races in them. Having a former G1 winner like Monzante makes me think Thacker would've said no to selling unless it was to more than he was worth. I've seen it happen frequently that connections won't let the horse go or if they do, they jack up the price trying to make money off what they see as a bleeding heart. So frustrating that this is part of the situation, but it is. Last edited by Merlinsky : 07-25-2013 at 09:11 PM.

 * * * For anyone interested... In memory of Monzante Remember Me Rescue is setting up a special fund to allow us to contact owners and trainers of horses that have earned more then $500,000 and are running for a claiming price of $5000 or less and offer them retirement, rehabilitation, retraining and rehoming. Donate to help us help our horses who have contributed so much to racing. Now it is our turn to contribute to them by funding their retirement http://www.teamkeen.com/monzantememorialfund.html
