i just think if they wanted to build a real successful stable, they can and will--and have. but the focus is seemingly on being better than coolmore..the sheik has a huge undertaking ahead of him.
meanwhile, coolmore follows their plan, and their sucesses continue.

I beg to differ. Coolmore's stallion roster in the US is full of middle of the road types, some old ones, some fading ones, and a couple of promising ones. American breeders with the power mares are thinking twice about Coolmore stallions because they know the biggest player is out of the market for their foals. Darley is also driving up the premium stallion market to force Coolmore to either overpay for a prospect or not be a player for them. They did it to him and now he is doing it to them.
