This year has been very strange.

I find it hard to believe that in this market there is a huge demand for most of these colts at stud.

there might not be a huge demand. but is it still more profitable for an owner for many of these compared to staying in training, and the expenses of racing? i wonder how many mares covered/stud fee makes it the better choice as far as bottom line.
