I'm sorry, but this is becoming ridiculous.

They can't breed horses themselves, so they have to buy everyone else's. It really sucks to see so many nice horses going to them.

With all their purchasing all they are doing over here is creating a much bigger divide between the big guys and the small guys, and that isn't good for racing. No matter what anyone says. As soon as anyone gets a nice horse, bang, it's gone. The people who owned this filly were more than likely to race her for several seasons, but now i doubt we will see her past the age of 3 if she does any good.

It's very frustrating to see this happen week in week out. They have showed that the organisation struggles to cope with the amount of horses they have, but still they are too short sighted to see this and continue to buy.

They bought Silca's Sister who looked like a future star when she was with Channon..... as soon as she goes to Godolphin she becomes crap. I hope the same doesn't happen with this girl, because she looks very exciting for next year.

Although with my bet on You'resothrilling for next year's 1,000 Guineas...... i've not got nothing to worry about from Laureldean Gale now

NEW Approach sale

Sheikh Mohammed’s Darley organisation has purchased a half of this year’s star juvenile performer, New Approach (05 c Galileo - Park Express by Ahonoora).
The winner of the Futurity Stakes (Gr2) will continue to be trained by Jim Bolger whose wife Mrs Jackie Bolger retains the other 50 per cent.

John Ferguson, Sheikh Mohammed’s bloodstock advisor said: “We are delighted to have purchased a half-share in New Approach; he is one of the outstanding two-year-olds of 2007 who has the scope, pedigree and quality to go on to be a top prospect for the Classics next year.”

Just aslong as he doesn't go to Godolphin, i don't really care.

It is becoming very annoying and boring now, though. When people begin to buy what they see as competition it stops being a sport, and that is exactly what is happening in England and Ireland right now.

Fans are leaving the sport, prize money is way down, less people are watching on the TV. Now, i'm not for one minute saying the sheikhs are to blame, but they are certainly not helping things over here by doing this mass buying

Prince buys 2008 UAE Derby hope Cat

Marcelo Sarachi

Argentine stakes winner Sentimiento Cat, a highly regarded three-year-old colt, has been purchased by Emmanuel de Seroux of California-based Narvick International on behalf of prominent Saudi Arabian owner Prince Sultan bin Mohammed bin Saud al Kabeer.

The son of Argentine leading freshman sire Easing Along was an impressive winner of the Clasico Julio Penna on debut before finishing second to Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum’s new purchase Mach Glory in the Gran Premio Carreras de las Estrellas Juvenile (Arg-G1) on turf at San Isidro on June 30.

Sentimiento Cat will be aimed at major races for three-year-olds in Dubai, including the 2008 UAE Derby on March 29 at Nad al Sheba racecourse.

Meanwhile, Magic Sale, a full sister to the Prince’s 2006 UAE 2,000 Guineas winner Gold for Sale, remained undefeated with a victory in Hipodromo La Plata’s Gran Premio Seleccion de Potrancas, that track’s equivalent of the Oaks, on Sunday in Buenos Aires.
