I could see some people taking the easy money and selling to stud right now, but these guys might be so mad they'll give him time off and come back. This horse's TC record and breeding make me wonder about his stud future because there are ways this has shaken out in the past that scream regional sire or Japan. The article they wrote in Bloodhorse about it got all kinds of nasty snark from people who blamed all kinds of things like East Coast bias and it was just ridiculous. It's a fact, he's not a blue blood. Nice looking horse though. Hope wherever he ends up he gets a shot. Grandsons of Pulpit won all 3 legs of the TC. Pretty impressive. Tonalist has more of a stallion's pedigree though, but blue collar horses have gone on to make their get into blue bloods so I'll root for Chrome like I rooted for Tiznow. That worked out just fine.
