Interesting how expediently the deal was done. Both John Ferguson and Adger commented on this. Whatever the number was -- it was huge. Between this purchase, the Down Under deal of mass proportions, and the purchase of numerous US stallions -- this is now an operation and empire that has incredible world-wide presence and the ramifications are perhaps unimaginable.

Many people have often said that when "one" gets bigger than the "whole" -- very little, perhaps zero, good can come from it.

I look forward to the day where we have a 12 horse field and all the horses are owned by Darley, all the horses were bred by Darley, and the race is sponsored by Darley.

last year he was buying a handful of horses for big money and it was making all the headlines. Now he is buying whole farms all over the world for massive money and it isnt really making the same waves..

The best bit of business he did this year was buy Andre Fabre's yard and up the number of horses he sends to him while reducing the numbers Fabre can train for other owners, in particular Coolmore..

and yet still manage to lose! but if he buys enough, they're bound to win more than they have been lately...

He'll never have 12 horses in a race...He is lucky to have 12 runners a meet.
