Exactly, and it didn't mean anything - no matter who made the price higher...it could have been Fusao Sekiguchi taking the price to $16 million and it wouldn't have mattered....it had nothing to do with their 'rivalry' or hatred towards each other and a 'foolish' act towards trying to beat one another....it was simply about Demi getting his horse ....
