Why did Hancock (if he controlled his breeding rights) write off Sunday Silence so soon and sell him to Japanese interests?

Arthur Hancock of Stone Farm got caught in the burst of the bloodstock bubble in 1986/7, when the tax-laws changed. He had to sell Sunday Silence to save the farm, quite literally. He could not interest anybody in Kentucky in buying or syndicating Sunday Silence; lord knowns he tried. Only the Japanese wanted him.
