Do you think we'll see Da'Tara run another race?

Question

Or was that horse put to stud this evening?

Answer 1

who cares, he did what he needed to do, he beat brown, that is enough.

Answer 2

Da' Tara will definitely run again. Probably several times.

Winning the Belmont doesn't get you the stud fees that winning the Derby gets. Da' Tara had won only a maiden race prior to his Belmont win. That isn't a great resume to send a horse to stud. I would almost expect he runs next year as well.

I think the owners of Big Brown would have been nuts to run him again if he won the TC - yet they were talking that way.

It sounds like they will run BB again if they don't find any problems - but I think him running next year would be very unlikely.

Answer 3

I don't think so!

Answer 4

Yes...probably The Travers or/and Breeders Cup.  Same for Big Brown...we haven't seen the last of him either.

Answer 5

He'll probably run again.  Birdstone raced until the end of the year after he upset the Belmont.  Sarava upset the Belmont in 2002 and he raced until 2005.
