yeah,
but they winter their best horse at home.
you cant expect them to win the freaking Donn Handicap when their horses are half a world away.

I say they are sporting.
they target the biggest races in the world and show up.
look how many horses they ran in the BC.
more than any other non American outfit.

my only gripe with them, and Coolmore for that matter, is they buy up a ton of good dirt yearlings and waste their talent in turf racing in Europe. many become duds. sometimes they try to correct their mistake by sending them to the States for dirt racing, but often its too late.
I'll never understand that.

besides that, they are very good for the US thoroughbred racing industry.
