I have no idea what kind of condition he is in, soundness-wise but the first thing he will need (as I discussed on the GELD HIM) thread, is "brain surgery." Lop off his ...ahem...the boys and someone may want him. Maybe Cornell can send a vet student to do it.
This is the classic case of some dreamy person who thinks that all you to stand a stallion is an animal with testicles. There are worse racehorses, with worse breeding standing in NY and getting mares. IF (an it's a big if) someone had taken Watchmon at a well known farm, and promoted him and had the right professional care for him, he could have been breeding now.
I would think it would be a nice thing for Pompa (for whom he won a G2) to take him and place him in an appropriate retirement situation. If he is riding sound, find him a home. If not, make arrangements for his care. Since it looks like she got the horse for free, it's a lesson learned for this woman. Nothing in this world will ever cost you more than a free horse.
