He probably wasn't retired because he's a turf horse whose pedigree (by Kipling) isn't that fashionable. They likely concluded, correctly IMO, that he is worth more to them racing (earnings plus marketability of a high-profile horse) than selling him to the breeding shed. If he was by a fashionable sire, it's doubtful that he'd be racing this year.
