Wilko has made more than enough to pay his way since his 2yo season. Check the records. He may not be great, heck even very good, but he earns nice checks all over the place.
The reason he wasn't retired the BCJ is that he is a tiny horse. He is not the most attractive stallion prospect for this reason. His pedigree is as fine as many stallions, his race record, better than most, but he is not a very impressive to look at.
But, please stop bashing a horse that raced on after winning the BCJ. You all bitch when a horse is retired and apparently bitch when they continue to race. I don't get it.
