Well, believe me when i say it. I am not pro coolmore. If they were doing the same as Godolphin, i would be bashing them, too...... but they don't do what Godolphin do.
I was annoyed with HRE going to stud, and at first i was disgusted, but i can see why they did it now, and although i'm still not happy with them for doing it, i can see why they did it and it will probably pay dividends for them in the long run. With GW infertile, they knew they were about to lose hundreds and hundreds in stallion fees from mare owners, and the only way they were going to limit that loss as much as possible was the replace him with the next best Danehill. I wish they hadn't and i don't agree with people sending horses to stud so early as a racing fan, but it's a business and there is much more money to be made from breeding, especially with the shocking prize money in Europe (especially England and Ireland) currently.
I wished Dubawi would have raced for another year, because i think he was still improving when he was retired, but i realised why they did it, they wanted to get the stallion fees in while he was fit and healthy. It's a shame the industry has gone like that.
