Default Random Conspiracy theory about Curlin

So I just realized something, and it is probably out there, and while I understand the reason to run in Dubai, the prep race still kinda makes me wonder some things.

What if, the Shiek also has a handshake agreement with Jackson and the other partners that 'got bought out' to stand Curlin, I mean, given his buying binge, it sure as hell would make sense for him to have his hands on Curlin also.

Lets think about this in steps on how it could have happen

1) Sheik's peeps call Jackson and other people, tell them they want Curlin, Jackson says sure but pending lawsuit a pain in the ass
2) Sheik says I will pay this amount, just figure it out on your end
3) Jackson and those other people come up with plan to consolidate ownership to give Jackson 'power', but keep other people silent partners and 'still in' on the stud deal.
4) Sheik is happy, says he wants Curlin to run in both prep bs race, and the DWC

While their are obvious ethical issues here, from a legal standpoint, I don't see anything wrong with the above.

not at all, as I told another friend on here, sometimes these random ideas/thoughts just pop into my brain, and I either run into a wall with them, or run them out

rather convoluted.
still doesn't explain why curlin would be running, rather than playing it safe-especially since the other three purchases all went into retirement after the bc.

Um, SURE IT does, they wouldn't be able to stand him now ANYWAYS becuase of the lawsuit and the 20% ownership of the jailbirds.....

It wouldn't surprise me if Curlin ends up standing at Adena Springs... aren't Jess and Frank pretty tight?

actually, they could have stood him somewhere. trick is whether any monies collected would have to be held in escrow until everything is cleared up. it's not as tho all these plaintiffs who are looking at curlin like he may be their lotto ticket are helping pay his expenses.

Do you think that the owners want these random ass people getting a piece of that breeding deal? I'll answer for you, no...
