  • Not long ago, friends and fans gathered to pay their final respects to one of the most unlikely celebrities in sports: Zippy Chippy, a grandson of Kentucky Derby royalty, but who himself had a perfect 0-for-100 record. Correspondent Steve Hartman looks back at why Zippy Chippy - who never won a single race - was in fact an inspiration to all.

    He is so fortunate that someone loved and believed in him in spite of his record. So many horses are not so lucky.

      I couldn't agree more! My mare got to live out the last of her 32yrs as a loved pasture ornament. So many never get their forever home or their names in history books.

    Sweet story as I too adopted and deeply loved a racehorse, BURGOOS FELLOW aka "Spirit", a lovely gentle giant of 17.2 with a deep pedigree Which included grand sire Nasrullah. He was an OTTB (Off the Track ThoroughBred) racehorse I lost 2 yrs ago. at age 25, adopted at age 8 from Kentucky. But they ran Zippy in 100 races, good God why? I'm so glad he was blessed with great health and strong structure AND a long life and beloved. Much more needs to be done for horses who have raced and make them ALL beloved after their careers end. After all they are only 4-6 yrs old when that occurs. Adopt a OTTB whenever you can.

      I adopted Deification in 2011. He by Empire Maker out of Adoration. He was in his very first race which was a claiming race in 2009 and injured himself. He went to a rehab for close to two years. He was fully recovered when I heard about him and wanted a another horse as I had recently lost my my old quarter horse and my other one needed a buddy. Anyhow I ride him all the time here in the deserts of western Nevada. He is called Lucky and like Zippy everyone loves him. And when they find out he is American Pharoahs brother it’s picture time.

    Reminds me of the old Disney cartoon, Ferdinand the bull. All he wanted to do is sit, and smell the flowers.

    He might have been much happier as a pet or under saddle horse. Horses that don't like to race shouldn't be raced over and over.

      @@feddi7693 so they’re celebrating the most losses? Idk anything at all about horse racing but isn’t it like literally any other race? You know first second and third place get medals. The rest go to the glue factory or whatever right?
