It's far from surprising that he isn't being sent to Flemington, for a race that has never been remotely close to crossing Ballydoyle's radar before.
Whilst Yeats will be of little value as a Flat stallion, he will almost certainly be popular amongst National Hunt circles, and I suspect he may have run his last race. It would be a shame if that were the case, as he has proven himself one of the best stayers of recent times, and all would like to see him embellishing his record by staying in training another season or two.
