O.K. stupid question of the century ...
I was just wondering, so please be kind, if there has ever been a " successfull " situation where a quality race horse serviced mares during a break from racing and then returned to racing. I honestly don't know how that would turn out? ! ?
Bring 'em back tired ; but bring 'em back sound !
Square Eddie. If you google I'm sure you can find the whole story. I'm too tired to try to remember tonight. He's in training now and bred mares this past winter. I haven't read anything about if they'll breed outside mares to him this coming season. I think it's maybe Wilf that has a friend that knows the horse and if I recall correctly the horse has a very nice manner??? Something like that......
If you are asking if you could let a racehorse down in, say, December, use him to jump a few mares in Jan-Feb, return to race training in March, etc., I think that is quite possible. Whether that is done or not is not something that is likely to be reported on, since the stallion wouldn't be considered commercial at that level.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

...Eagle Time is 14 years old. The Oct. 1 race was his last, as Jordan said the horse will be sent to stud this week. But he won’t be a novice in the breeding shed. Indeed, Eagle Time has been at stud since 2004 and a two-career man since 2009...
