SOS is ducking the amazing, wonderful, incredible Zenyatta. Come to the US and get some Z. We'll send you packing back to the land of bangers, cold tea and warm beer. Who wants some,HUH? :D

He'd annihilate any of ur girlie horses Fred (on grass of course - fook velcro). What's the best we could offer up - Gio?

Enjoy ur stud duty. Prolly gonna be some serious euros involved IF there is any public breeding offered.

I think he's going to the Irish National Stud and there will be plenty of public breeding allowed. If he goes there, both Coolmore and Godolphin will likely send some mares to him, not to mention all the other breeders who will be seeking his services. He has to be one of the most exciting stallion prospects in Europe for many years having won Classics at a mile and at 12 furlongs while also winning the most prestigioius race on the continent, the Arc. The fact he's out of an Arc winner and a half brother to the already successful sire Galileo, makes him an extremely exciting prospect in the shed.

Well done to the breeder/owner Tsui family, the great John Oxx and jockey Mick Kinane.

How about breeding him to both Z and RA? Then they could neigh that the were in front of him at some point in their career.

Great quote:

The three-year-old has cost the bookies a staggering £25 million since he won the 2000 Guineas in May - more than any other horse in history.

Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchison said after the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe triumph: "The sooner he retires, the better."
