You dont think a big time American owner would LOVE to have a horse go over and win the Arc, or any big euro race for that matter? Cmon, you know they would, its not about the money when you are talking about races like that, its the prestige. That being said we couldnt go win it

you would think that would be the case but it's usually not. how do you think they got all that money? why do so many lottery winners end up broke? people who have money hate to fritter it away. they know how to make it, and they know how to keep it. lottery winners who were previously poor have all that money and think 'hey why not buy my buddy a new car...i've got more than enough money'. in reality, if they knew how to manage their newfound riches they could buy their buddy that new car. these are not hard and fast rules but hopefully you see my point.
