Yeah, we need more people getting fleeced at the sales on horses that can barely get to the races so that new owners are attracted to the sport.

Who exactly was getting "fleeced" reference TGM? You consider Coolmore uneducated on the gambling nature of horse racing?
If you're going to call anyone who buys a horse at a sale "getting fleeced" if the horse "barely gets to the races", well, 20% of owners are getting fleeced every year, right now, and always have been.
What does anyone care what Sekiguchi or anyone else pays for a horse?
This fascination with TGM by outsiders is ridiculous. His owners haven't put him on a pedestal. Either has his trainer.
That his owners have the werewithal to pay $16 million, and barely blink, for something that they simply desire, sure seems to grate on alot of people's nerves.
