The fact is that they pretty much have unlimited money and are not afraid to use it. Maybe it turns you off but that's life.

and you obviously can't see that they are losing ground on Coolmore year after year.

You talk about the final result? Is this result so far in the future that none of us will see it?

They are concentrating so much on what Coolmore are doing, i think they forget that they are running a stable and breeding operation as well. They don't back up their own stallions by buying their offspring at the sales (well, very rarely). Coolmore play the game by paying lots for offspring of their own stallions to make them look more popular and it has worked so far, so it seems. They paid 1,400,000 euros for a son of Galileo in France the other day. Darley seem to forget about their current stallions.

To me, they are looking for a quick fix.
