horse owners

[ELA]

Got it. Even so, I am not sure what % of high-profile horses are owned by royalty, the super-wealthy, etc. nor in my mind is there a direct correlation. Like I said, I am not counting other people's money, nor am I judging. However, if the next super-horse comes along and is owned by a working class class guy who got lucky, common sense or a knee jerk reaction would be that they take the money and run. Whether it's common sense, diversification, risk, who knows.


However, if that same horse is owned by a sheik, a prince, or a king, or someone of incredible wealth -- wouldn't the same thinking dictate that "they didn't need the money" or something along those lines. Maybe there is a "quit while you are on top" mentality. I don't know.

If Empire Maker was sound, would he have raced as a four year old? Who knows. I think many can make a very convincible case either way.
