Think about it, they are grossly outspending everyone at auctions to buy the horses with the sexiest pedigrees, and best looking animals. I would say the fact that they have had the success they have had this year is long coming. they have been doing it for years, and are finally starting to see some results. But, think about it. Shouldn't they be winning a lot. When you do everything you can, financially speaking to get a winner, most of the time it works. Now, of course the Sheiks aren't the only ones doing it, but the way at which they are throwing money around is absurd. they also haven't been the sportiest of fellas when it comes to racing their horses, so that of course causes backlash.
what the hell is a sexy pedigree?
I cant remember the last time a pedigree chart reminded me of Kate Beckinsale.

anyway,
they have been successful in the US for a long time now.
its just that they won their first 3YO classic race this year so the general sports public took notice.

hell, they had a better BC in 2001 at Belmont.
