Japan Cup updates...

[GenuineRisk]

From Bloodhorse's article:

Admire Moon, who has won five of his first six starts, is out of the Sunday Silence mare My Katies. Sunday Silence is also the broodmare sire of Vermilion, winner of the Japan Cup Dirt (Jpn I). He is likely to be retired to stud for Shiekh Mohammed, who bought him in June.

June!? He's owned the horse six months and he's retiring him? Can someone please find Sheik Mo a new hobby, as he's ruining mine?

do you really believe that anybody would bring this horse back to race at five?
17 starts, 10 wins, 11 million in earnings.

Sadly, even I'm not that naive, but I can still be annoyed. I just fail to see the thrill for an owner. But then, I also can't fathom having that much money...
