Personally I am glad that he is still running, because the sport needs all the decent G2/G3 caliber older routers that it can get right now. As a fan of the sport I am certainly not complaining, but why would the connections campaign him as a 6yo?
He is already a multiple graded stakes winner, and in my opinion he does not seem likely to enhance whatever value he may have as a stallion at this point in his career.
Just wondering.

His race record isn't particularly exciting, just a G2 winner. I don't know of any sons of Silver Charm that have had any success at stud so no one is interested in his pedigree. I think his chance of making it as a stud range from slim to none so they might as well take down as much money on the track while they still can. I love it that Miesque's Approval is coming back for an 8 year old season after winning the BC Mile. You won't see an intact 7 year old win a BC race and comeback the next year very often.
