Al-Sharbatly has stated "Sultan officially retired a few months ago, he has some issues which already stop him from competing at the top level". Abdullah continued to say "our decision was to give him retirement from the sport because of his bad health condition, we could have brought him back in the field but we respect and honour him for his glorious achievements".
Abdullah's last words were "Sultan has issues and deserves to rest now ". Bruce Menzies has produced with the gelding great Nations Cup rounds in 2011 in Gijon, Falsterbo, Lummen and Lisbon.
