The Tetrarch was famously retired to stud after one season of racing, through injury I know.
Danzig was retired through injury also was he not ?
Teofilo also only ran the one season through injury.

I would have thought the fertility of a three year old stallion would be more of an issue than it appears, especially with the large books of mares covered.
Was there not such a case in the last few years ?

Quick speed and a quick return on investment seems the order of the day now I fear.
