And if you still don't understand how these characters are arch-criminals by now, rehashing the issue, again, is not going to faze you. There is no cure for willful obliviousness.
How are these guys criminals again? They stole somebody's horse(s)? They paid good money for the horses they bought (you can argue that they paid more than they should). The previous owners of these horses could have said no and not sold thier horse to dubai and give it to Baffert to train but the dollar sign speaks volume. If they want to "squander" thier money then its thier choice and thier money thats being squandered -NOT YOURS or MINE. Why must you put your two cents in commentary about thier financial decisions?

If they could not produce derby contenders then they must work on it. Other than 3yo derby prospects, you can say they earned thier due in Europe, Asia, N. America etc. in all other G1 races.
