RE: American Pharoah - LKTraz - 06-14-2015
I wondered too about the "wisdom" of running him again.
I would have followed the traditional course of letting him rest on his laurels and put him out to stud.

Well, letting him run in a couple of big stakes races increases his value as well. Bigger purse earnings = higher stud fees. It's always all about the $$ in the end. Unlike Secretariat's owners, or Seabiscuit, it's not about proving the oddball in the mix could do it anymore.
