cryptorchid horses generally are less fertile (due to the fact that the undescended testicle is sterile)...they also have a higher incidence of testicular cancer, and they experience pain as a result of the undescended testicle. Surgical removal is usually the best option.
I believe you said in an earlier thread that this horse is a claimer anyway so I would guess he doesn't present any value as a stud, he will be a happier horse if you cut him.
As for the race he just appeared to tire...is this a new distance for him?
