I didn't see that. If my memory's correct, wasn't Zenyatta supposed to retire at the end of last year?
Sometimes people change their minds. Off Blame's performance, I'd certainly give it a second thought.

Yes, that's why they didn't schedule the Breeder's Cup at Santa Anita again.

Blame was already being advertised by Claiborne before the race. It was signed and sealed.

Zenyatta should get an award for showing up to race twenty times.
Has any other G1-quality horse ran in as many races as Z in the last two decades?

Although a bit old news, Goldikova is "50 - 50" to come back. That would be amazing.

Horse racing is a lot like college basketball, one and done. Just when a horse becomes good, lets retire them and make some breeding money. Where are the true champions that race for 3 or 4 years?

Hey, let's just keep it to the past few years, shall we:
Einstein - 30 starts
Ginger Punch - 22 starts
Well Armed - 24 starts
Wait a While - 24 starts
Fabulous Strike - 24 starts
Lawyer Ron - 26 starts
Fence stop now, him tired.

Yes!!! Evening Attire. He's the first that comes to mind. Perfect Drift is another.
