2009 Racing Season
In early 2009 it was announced she would be bred to Big Brown when she retired from racing.
In March 2009 as part of a deal for the three-year-old colt, I Want Revenge, David Lanzman, the colt's owner, received a twenty-five percent interest in Stardom Bound. It was thought she might run in the 2009 Kentucky Derby as one of the top 10 best horses for this year. She was also an entry in the 2009 Kentucky Oaks but she raced in neither the Kentucky Oaks or the Derby. Her owners say she will return to racing in the fall of 2009.
On July 23, 2009, trainer Richard Dutrow, Jr. announced that the filly is pointed towards the 2009 Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic. With Zenyatta taking on males in the Breeders' Cup Classic and Rachel Alexandra not running in either race, Dutrow feels this could be Stardom Bound's race. Stardom Bound, as of 2011 has retired after finishing a disappointing fifth in an allowance back in 2010 at age four. She was retired and bred to Big Brown in 2010. She has recently produced a colt by Big Brown in 2011, and will be expecting in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words racing and/or season:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
