It was an odd statement because the fact that he was retired has no relation to SB being transfered to a new trainer. The horse broke his leg in Tim Ice care and for some reason the owners decided to change trainers thereafter.

His pedigree is suspect for soundness . He was pushed too far at his age .

Tim Ice had something to do with SB fracturing his leg?

Did transferring the horse to another trainer had something to with SB retirement?

Did I ever say it did? I made a simple point that it was an arbitrary decision to change trainers with the horse after Ice campaigned the horse to an Eclipse award. I am sorry if it was too difficult for you to understand.

Apparently the owners did not like him for some reason however its thier horse and thier decision to transfer trainers. It wasnt like Tim Richtey was a bad choice either. Also, do you blame Edward P Evans for switching trainers for Quality Road too?

You can disagree if you want, it is a merely an opinion. It doesn't make it odd because you disagree. It was my opinion at the time that a trainer change wouldn't improve a horse who appeared to be running at his highest level with Ice. Steve explained there was more to it after I posted, information I was not privy too. I have now wasted much more time responding to you than it is worth.
