Zippy Goes for 101
And then, can he retire? Zippy Chippy’s owner, Felix Monserrate, announced after the gelding’s 100th race on Friday that he would run again next weekend. Bob Matthews isn’t convinced that’s such a great idea: “Barring a miracle next weekend at Northampton, it appears that what little speed the Zipster had is either gone or he’s no longer interested in using. One hundred races is plenty for any thoroughbred. It is time for the leisurely retirement Monserrate has promised him.” (Rochester Democrat & Chronicle)
