Exactly my point , your only vested intrest is the money you bet , and I agree that the betters support the industry but so do the billionare breeders and buyers. You can call it poor breeding practices but you have little idea of what is involved , still the point of the thread was bashing the sheiks for retiring THEIR horse because it doesnt suit the racing fan consensus ( and that is what Andy is as I dont see him spending millions of dollars in the industry).
