she only had 53 lifetime starts I don’t think she was over raced personally
I don't consider Sylvia overraced, because she wouldn't allow it. That mare is too smart for her own good and acted like one who could smell blood in the water, so to speak, and never saw a horse that expended less unnecessary energy.She only did enough to win and IMO if she didn't think she could, she didn't really try. At least that's the impression she left me with.
"While most findings were positive, an injury to her collateral ligament was discovered, requiring approximately four months of rest. Although her prognosis for a racing return was favorable, we have chosen to retire her nowand look forward with great excitement to cheering on her future foals."Listening carefully to y'all and respecting your expertise, and reading between the lines here, and the word "now" was not necessary, I think a tell, yeh, she is going to un-retire.I think they're testing the market, if she's sold, can't she still race for the new owner if she's sound? What kind of odds should I get on that prediction, when un-retiring would be accurate?
30/1 she never races again. You pick the price and I’ll print the ticket
Tony said what he said just in case, so that if someone comes along and wants to offer him enough to make him sell-----he's thrown it out there that she can come back and the new buyer doesn't have to retire her, and can put her back into training. Why wouldn't he say that, LOL.
