Who decides when to retire a horse?
Often, the Manager will put a retirement option to Members along with a number of other options (including retaining the current racing status of the horse) and Members are asked to respond. The decision to retire a horse is made when seventy five per cent of Members agree to this. Often, although it becomes clear that a horse is not of city class, an alternate trainer may be proposed to the Syndicate so that the Syndicate may be retained. The decision to change trainers again rests with the majority.
