But you're right about there being little upside, economically speaking, to continue racing when the value is at it's peak.
As far as the risk of something happening to a horse that continues racing..well, life is risk. It may happen, but most times it probably won't and the benefits of having a reliable star, as opposed to a shooting comet, may be worth the risk. Anyway, since when are you afraid about what a bunch of crazies think? The DeeTee partners aren't crazy enough for you?

If someone makes tons of money off selling the semen of a horse and then continues to run him and he were to break down the connections would be villified forever.
