Not to mention the ridiculous initial post, that suggested that for some reason we should be happy Coolmore will eat $6 million or so on this horse and that the 2yo-in-juring sales are supported (you know, because those sales companies are really hurting for a buck).

I always resented Keeneland for publically saying, "We don't hold training sales, as we don't believe 2-yr-old-in-training sales are good for the horse", then later reversing that stand with, "but that's what the buying public wants".

That's all fine when you're the only one doing it, but now 20 years on, everyone is doing it, trying to produce stallions not caring whether they can actually run or not. Meanwhile, the quality of racing has nosedived.

I waiting to see what happens when the "breeding a race horse" industry comes up against ... no racing industry left.
