Itsaknockout retired from injury

They are shopping for a stud deal after he injured a sesamoid in the Makers Mark (G1) when he ran 6th.
How attractive is a horse like him as a stallion? Technically he never finished first in a graded stakes, his one graded win was off a DQ of Upstart in the Fountain of Youth. Other than the DQ win, he's an allowance horse, really.
I personally think a horse like him should be a gelding and live happily ever after as someone's riding horse.
