If Will Take Charge had performed as poorly as Palace Malice did, I really believe they'd have taken a shot at the Cigar Mile ... where a win or a visually impressive 2nd could have been enough to steal the 3yo championship.
With Will Take Charge getting beat just a nose in the Breeders Cup Classic, the chance at the title has realistically 100% slipped away.
It's still a business at the end of the day. Very few people would bring back a 4yo who might not be that competitive in top handicap races, if they can start at a 25k stud fee and get interest.
