Horse That Never Won A Race Won Many Hearts

"Zippy loved being a race horse, he just wasn't any good at it."
A racehorse named Zippy Chippy never came close to winning any race, but he won plenty of hearts along the way.

When it comes to racehorse breeding, genetics is critical.
To understand the importance of genetics in horseracing lets look at some of the winners of the Kentucky Derby. A total of twelve Kentucky Derby winners have sired Derby winners, including three triple crown winners who have gone on to sire Kentucky Derby winners.
Zippy was born into a racing royal family. His grandfather was a Kentucky Derby winner. But I guess he didn't get that "racing" gene.
Zippy lost every race he entered. He finished his racing career with a record of 0-100.
Last month he passed away at the age of 31. Now, he's finally being celebrated.
