He's not just a retard. He's an intelligent retard. Gold Ship has been known to be an asshole to his handlers and throwing races when he doesn't feel like it. There was an incident from a decade ago where lots of people betted money on him winning, and he threw the race, causing a loss of 12 billion yen.
