Sheikh Mo is worth Mr. Trump times 10.

That wasn't the point...............

sort of valid...when has it ever been about the money?

I mean that'll let him overpay for about 6-7 more horses down the road and all.

My point is, if i were Sheikh Mo where money is no object i'd keep him in training for his 4YO career (including a stop in Dubai for the entertainment of his entourage.)

lol comparing Sheik Mo and Donald Trump. Its like comparing frozen salibsury steak to steak from Lugar's in NY

Tis horse will stand for $200,000 or more....mark it down.....he is that good of a stallion prospect (Bernardini), probably moreso tha any other horse I've ever seen forging into the breeding market.....

It is very easy to him as a horse that could change the breed and significantly impact racing's future stars...

that's nothing compared to his oil. So now that he won his Classic he IS about the money?

Personally, I don't care for Bernie as a stallion prospect. NOT a fan of Quiet American at all and he's inbred all to hell. I'll pass...

I would too, thats why I'm surprised if this were to prove true...he can afford to be sporty and I feel as though he almost has a hidden obligation to this industry to be a aggressive on the racing end in the positon that he is in....

You think he's hated nhow by American race fans?...Shiat....They'll want to string him up i he follows through with this decision ad they should be mad...we should expect more from Darley and group.....(kidding bout the stringing up part of course :D )

I would no longer remotely support them if they did this.....one of the reasons I respected them was because I thought that if they had a good horse that was perfectly healthy they race him as long as he was effective and good because they could afford to do so above any others in the game....I really hope I wasn't wrong about them, but if I was, then I will throw my Godolphin membership card in the trash and start a retraction thread about every supportive thing I've said about them over the last 5 months :eek:

We've seen how good he is, but I get your point, dad :D

Not brocolli again, pops......you know I don't like brocolli :D

If I had Sheik Mo money; not only would I continue to race him but when it was time to stand him at stud, I would limit his book to 60 mare, only mine!
I mean what the hell difference does the money mean to him and his family? 99% of the owners in the world would get no negative comments from me if they retired the horse because when you can get life changing money, you have to do it . But there is pretty much no number that will change his families life.

NYRA doesn't do the testing, the NY racing and wagering board does. I am sure that the "look the other way" method has been used in NY but also in other states.
If you believe that Pletcher has an unfair advantage then why would he only use it on Fleet Indian? How do you know that English Channel is "legitimately good"? I dont understand your argument on this?
I could understand if you said that he has the most talented barn in the history of American horseracing and are disguisted because you feel he has an unfair advantage as well as the best horses. But to claim that you can tell which horses have been illegally enhanced and which ones haven't been, kind of demeans the whole crux of your argument.

good for them they have the best horses this year...im on the roll call no 2..as for them not racing dini after the bc ..who cares..hes earned a life of good living for performing well..i mean i dont want to see another funny cide deal....yes gelding blah blah blah...dini is a great horse and could continue to spank all the compitition ..and make money..so why not let him make money in the shed..its the same thing but he wont get injurys ..beating the same wanna bees over and over....and cannon shell...you da man..

He got his heart broken by all the horses in that race. Pitiful. Broken by Bernardini, thats funny Cunningham. You think Dylan would have won the race if Bernardini was not in it?

What a crazy post, your first one.

Fine, I'll state on public record I've been to his barn several times recently and played with basically all of his top beasts, you can tell immediately which ones have been "enhanced" based on (a) their demeanor and (b) their eyes.

On top of that, I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to determine that EC is (and was) a quality individual from the day he broke his maiden, while Fleet Indian has improved nearly 20 lengths from 4 to 5. That just does not happen to horses with established form...
