![]() This is in bloodhorse and the link is below. But the Sheikh was quoted as saying "
"Yes. Before, as you know, I buy horses for Europe. European horses look different than American horses. So three years ago, I started to buy to race in America, and we went for the American type of horses. That's why we are successful. We were lucky this year with some horses, as you know. We came back. We bought half and half, half for America and the other half for Europe. And we are very happy. We are successful (at the track) and therefore we come here and buy and put some money back into the business." I love the end of the quote. I love to see people put money back into the business instead of just taking it out. I was also surprised to see that he reconginzed that American Racing and European Racing is different and requires a different type of animal. Here is the link to the transcript: http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=35306 |
