With Ghostzapper being retired, I feel for the horse, a game Frank Stronach who tried to bring him back, and the fans who wanted to see Ghostzapper PROVE he was one of the best of all-time. I’m sure that once the last syndication was complete Ghostzappers racing fate was sealed.

He horse retires with more hype than greatest of all-time black type. Sort of a modern day SHEET version of Le Prince. Is A-Rod better than the Babe, Dwayne Wade better than MJ, not hardly only the test of time validates that kind of greatness.

To attempt to put Ghostzapper through some sort of masquerade campaign with phony made for TV events would have been a total disgrace to the REAL GREAT ONES who were truly eqine warriers. The ones who took on all challengers regardless of weights, conditions, or competition.

One good thing about racing every time a star fades away a new one is always ready to step in.

Afleet Alex has already proven if Ghostzapper did not step aside, he was going to push him aside if he needed. He already has proven he had the toughness to do it. Ghostzapper never did.
