If someone offered you 5 million dollars for a 2 million dollar horse, you wouldn't sell?

If I was a billionaire? No. In almost any other circumstance, yes. And in a lot of these situations you are talking about $50 million for a $20 million dollar horse, which even a billionaire has to look at.

I'd swim with the horse on my back to the UAE.

What level of wealth makes a person "greedy" for accepting a huge offer. I am assuming that most of us are "middle class." Most of us have never been extremely wealthy. Most of us would sell pretty quickly if a significant offer came in. What if you were already worth $10million? What about $30m? or $100m? At what level are you "set for life" and just being greedy for taking a monster offer? Who's to say? Are you less greedy if you set aside $Xm of the "take" to fund a charity, or establish a trust for the care of your disabled niece?
As you can see, it's complicated. Most of the people campaigning top racehorses are wealthy people. Mr Tafel is extremely wealthy. Mr Porter is not as rich, but he's richer than most of the world. The WinStar folks are professional horsemen/breeders who run their operation as a business.
I am not associated with Sh. Mo or Godolphin in any way. I would prefer to see him race horses like Hard Spun and Street Sense. Hard Spun would have waltzed in the Godolphin Mile and I'd have loved to see it. I'd love it if some of the money he spends would trickle down to me. As Cannon said, an awful lot of that money goes back into more breeding stock, more horses and more racing. If DeeTee got an offer from Dubai what would it do? My guess is take it, and invest in more horses.

We would take the money and send them PG1985 as an offering of our appreciation.
