Even though he is not officially retired per jockey club I think it's safe to say after so few updates that Triple Tap is retired

The retirement ceremony for Hong Kong champion Golden Sixty held at Sha Tin last night.

The video is in chinese and is only highlights as he walked around for several minutes, nearly taking out several of his grooms on the way. (He has never been a easy horse)

is there any reason why she'd be kept in light training instead of being sent to a farm if she's retired?

Not surprising. Tying up takes a little time to come back from and its just not there.
