The NY breeding market has so much potential but the same folks have been "running it" for years and its a shame.
Ny needs one of the players with REAL money from Kentucky to set up a satellite breeding operation in NY. There is plenty of farmland available in NY, and the breeding program is great. If one of the Kentucky operations were to set up a satellite program in NY, they could shuffle up some stallions who arent quite making it the way they expected them to, but that they don't want to sell and give up on.
Noone involved in the NY breeding program up here seems to understand this. They just hired a new guy(whose main qualification appears to be that his Dad was a big player, Dragone) and before that Dennis Brida ran the thing(LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I'm the cult of personality).
I mean, how difficult could it be to approach one of the major players down there, and ask them about interest in setting up a satellite farm up here?
They don't wanna do that because there are only 2-3 players up here and they don't wanna disrupt their little monopoly.
