of roughly 75,000,000?
Potential injury to this incredible TBred and adverse public outcry is the
last scenario the racing industry needs.
Sometimes less is really better, especially on this topic.

Honestly, other than the syndicate who owns the horse, why would you care about the horse's value at stud? What difference does it make to any of us what some holding company makes breeding the horse?
By your argument, let's retire all horses and end the sport so none of them get hurt.
People who think the way you do are why horse racing is dying.
