Why would they do this?

yea maybe he was gelded out of spite. Bobbitt style?

wow, on pedigree alone you'd think he was worth something in the shed.

You are right, they gelded him out of spite. They basically said "I am not going to let this horse turn it around and become a stallion" so they snip snip and get rid of their problem

I'm not sure why they gelded him.
From my experience, one that had a great pedigree just became too "coltish", dangerous to be around, focused on only one thing if you know what I mean.
The other one was gelded because his testicles interfered with his running.
Just my two pennies worth.
