I just think the upside is such that they are doing an injustice to the horse by retiring him. I really do. You can't just retire every som of A.P. Indy now because they are 'hot'. Especially the ones who haven't proved all they could prove...A.P. Warrior still has something left to prove IMO and belongs on the race track.
I am breeding to a couple of different A.P. Indy horses this year and have bred to a couple the past few years - but I wouldn't look twice at A.P. Warrior for a breed.....he doesn't hold a very good reputation AT ALL to me in terms of genuinely being one of teh best of his generation...he needed to run at 4 to prove that IMO...

I don't disagree, but they made the guy a tremendous offer.
