Darley Buys Stonerside Farm
 

he decided to sell Stonerside because no one was interested in buying the Texans.

:D

I imagine the money from the Texans is less risky

Pretty funny (funny meaning sad), must have been a monster offer. McNair has more money then sin yet was swayed either by boredom of the sport or a very lucrative offer.

that was easily a $250 million + deal

I beleive he bought in on the Texans for 600 million and they are worth a billion now.

You gotta have money to make money.....

heard someone on HRTV suggest it was more like $500 million

have to pay for the new stadium.
he owns the texans.

Interesting how expediently the deal was done. Both John Ferguson and Adger commented on this. Whatever the number was -- it was huge. Between this purchase, the Down Under deal of mass proportions, and the purchase of numerous US stallions -- this is now an operation and empire that has incredible world-wide presence and the ramifications are perhaps unimaginable.

Many people have often said that when "one" gets bigger than the "whole" -- very little, perhaps zero, good can come from it.

I look forward to the day where we have a 12 horse field and all the horses are owned by Darley, all the horses were bred by Darley, and the race is sponsored by Darley.

last year he was buying a handful of horses for big money and it was making all the headlines. Now he is buying whole farms all over the world for massive money and it isnt really making the same waves..

The best bit of business he did this year was buy Andre Fabre's yard and up the number of horses he sends to him while reducing the numbers Fabre can train for other owners, in particular Coolmore..

and yet still manage to lose! :D but if he buys enough, they're bound to win more than they have been lately...

He'll never have 12 horses in a race...He is lucky to have 12 runners a meet.

Will Kiran McLaughlin pick up any new horses because of the purchase?

Does he really need more?

I just wish Sheikh Mo would get fasig tipton to send me my damn proceeds from the July sale before he sends McNair his cash.

Chuck -- FYI . . . Your prayers have been answered, LOL.
