Super excited about Tense Imagination’s win! Also a bit confused, so maybe those who have stallions at stud can help me out here. His race record says he has 7 wins to qualify for stud (this last win is ungraded, if that changes things), including 2 G1 wins, and he has a total of 12 stakes top 3. I can’t retire him to stud, though. Is he still missing a qualification? I’m not aiming to retire him now, but I’m trying to understand the qualification process. I’ve never been so close to having a stud before!

It might be because it’s outside of the breeding season. I think you can’t retire stallions to stud until January now. If he’s met the criteria, you should be able to retire him from January 1st (assuming you want to).
It looks like he should be qualified. Congratulations.
