Cozmic One, a regally bred (but awfully slow) son of champ Zenyatta, will be retrained for hunter/jumper duty now that his racing career is over.
Friday’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony was about the ways in which flaws and fallibility help to define greatness – even on the fast track to the Hall.
The Hall of Fame’s 2016 class includes racehorses Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra, jockey Ramon Dominguez, and trainer Steve Asmussen.
Orb, Oxbow, and Verrazano — three of racing’s biggest stars this year — are all now retired. That’s because of a business model with misaligned incentives.
