What you have to do is to examinate all other parts of his body and see if there is no problem....If there is no apparent problem, the only way to know if the testicles are really the problem is removing them and then, see if the horse goes well after that.

Unless you plan on using him for breeding, gelding is an option worth your consideration.

Cut His Nuts Off

EASY, just because Pittsburgh got smoked doesn't mean you need to take it out on a horse

I have no idea what to do, if this horse is that talented, I would just hope that they eventually drop

cryptorchid horses generally are less fertile (due to the fact that the undescended testicle is sterile)...they also have a higher incidence of testicular cancer, and they experience pain as a result of the undescended testicle. Surgical removal is usually the best option.
I believe you said in an earlier thread that this horse is a claimer anyway so I would guess he doesn't present any value as a stud, he will be a happier horse if you cut him.

As for the race he just appeared to tire...is this a new distance for him?
