I don’t think that horse will ever win another race—-triple crown or anything else.
100% correct. The horse was available for $30k in September and no one bit.

The right move is to walk away and take the stud money.

That said I wonder at what point do the stud fees go down on these KD winners with no pedigree?

Either way it’s the right move, but they may be gamblers.

WWSD?
