I could be wrong about CTL, but I don't remember seeing any horse as good as him on the turf. I know one is turf and one is dirt, but other than that performance by Candy Ride a few years back, I don't remember ever seeing a horse like CTL.

You need to get your mind right Luke. Nobody, not even the rag heads, pay 5 mil for a gelding.

The BC Mile is worth $2M, and the Dubai Duty Free is a turf race about 9F that is worth $5M. I really don't think $5M for a gelding is asking too much if you think you can run the horse in those type of races for 2 or 3 years.

They are interested in winning. Money has nothing to do with anything to them. Coolmore is interested in money, but Maktoum is interested in winning. He makes more in a day from oil than he makes in an entire year in purse money.
