You think they wanted or thought he was going to breakdown? I am sure we are all sad he is gone but mostly because we didnt get to see a really nice miler race more!

I agree he should have continued to run, but if there was no need to increase his breeding value (infertile), why not put him back on the grass where he was truely special. The dirt/Classic win adds nothing.
I was at Monmouth and I've never left a racetrack in a worse more depressed mood in my life. I still have not watched a replay of single race from that Breeders' Cup and have absolutely no interest...
