Sadler described the injury as a “little strain. The timing is such that we could bring him back, but he’d need 60 to 90 days off.”

FFS, give him the 60-90 days off and bring him back next year.

"little strain" + 60-90 days off + miss Breeders Cup = Retirement

I just don't get it, sometimes

Talk about wasting a horse's year.

People have stopped dieting, so clearly Jenny needs the money.

are all these horses really set to make it big as studs? it's amazing to me the amount of mediocre horses that are hustled off to the barn. it just seems to me they have a better shot at winning on the track than in the breeding shed.

Well, that horse was VASTLY overrated, and more to the point, overhyped. I think further running was just going to tarnish his value.

Sadler is a freaking idiot if he genuinely believes that TC is the best horse he's ever trained.

talk is cheap. it's not like they're going to get any real grief for saying things like that. maybe he has a share in the horse and is trying to talk him up?

Pretty likely. More likely than him being a total idiot.
