I hope he loses, just as I'd hope any 3-yr-old who is scheduled to be retired loses. I don't share blacktw's reaction though. If they ran Bernardini at 4, it would be the exception in this day and age. The sheik's don't have a monopoly on rushing the stars to the breeding shed.
The only way to reverse this would be to impose a strict you-can't-breed-'em-until-they're-five rule. No exceptions. Yeah, I know it isn't going to happen, but if enough people keep bringing it up, and if attendance, betting, and TV-interest keep dwindling, who knows.
