If you believe this article is hearsay or rumour, then you are very much mistaken.

As i say, you don't live here, you don't know the ins and outs. Yet you are all telling me that i'm mistaken?

Godolphin are a laughing stock over here, a complete laughing stock to anyone involved in racing.

It's just that their media friendly position seems to appeal to many for reasons unknown to me.
I don't have the time to pour through the auction results right now but when you're willing to go to 16 Million for a donkey who can't even make the track you are NOT keeping a budget. You've probably got a lot more time on your hands than I...check out the yearling & HIT results within the past few years and tell me how well that tight budget has helped Coolmore in their auction purchases.
