Post When to retire?
Just want to know peoples opinions on the best time to retire horses to the breeding barn.

Do you guys tend to do it when the horse in question is in the form of its life (usually 3/4) or wait until you win more Group races with it and it ages.

And would the time retirement takes place make any difference to quality of the offspring it produces?

Thanks for the replies.

So would you try and win some prize money with it over a several before it retires? Unless of course you need it to get a breeding operation started asap.
