You would be devasted. How devestated would you be if the horse gets seriously hurt next year and for some reason can't be a stud. How would you feel then? Its a lose lose either way. If you run him you run the risk of him getting hurt and possibly not being a stud. If you retire him, you take away much of the risk but you don't get to see him run. It's very simple. If your in it for the prestige you run him next year. If your in this to make money, you retire him.
