After I wrote "infertile" I thought that maybe I was wrong on that. "Sub fertile" is correct. Needless to say, unless things change if he's only able to sire about 6 horses a year, his value as a breeding animal is nil. No one wants to waste a season with a good mare hoping that she's one of the 6 or so that season that catch.
Unless he's retested this season and has a better result, he's not viable as a stud, so again, why not treat hm as you would a gelding and maximize his on track earnings by running him where he's most likely to win.
