In getting back to the original poll, barring real injury, I can see good motivation to not retire any of these horses early (meaning before the end of their 3YO season). In winning the Belmont Sir Winston has not only put himself into the race for top 3YO but Global Campaign as well. At this point it could still go to Maximum Security, War of Will, Tacticus, Country House, Omaha Beach or Game Winner. Even Owendale could be good enough, though I don't think his connections are going for it. With the possibility of an Eclipse they all have good reason to stay in the race to increase their stud value above what they currently can get.
Having said that, It seems that War of Will and Country House seem the least likely to get back to the form required to win the upcoming big races and will probably retire first. Sir Winston has the most to gain so he is the least likely to retire early.
