Of course you retire him. And you don't have to apologize either.

It gives Spendthrift 4 levels of Into Mischief for breeders to approach with the big horse ($225k), Authentic ($75k) Goldencents ($15k) & Maximus Mischief ($7.5k).

I think everyone understands it’s a business decision. It’s the way business is being conducted that people have an issue with.

If I was worth a few billion I’d get more joy in watching my horses run than retiring after 8 races while totally healthy. Then again I also wouldn’t have felt the need to start something like Myracehorse to further line my pockets. Different strokes I guess.
