Before Coolmore used to buy these multi million dollar AP Indy's and ran them on grass they suddenly wised up stopped buying them altogether and sending them to Ireland, Tabor has some and left them with Pletcher. Then they win the Belmont go figure..haha

Godolphin/Darley as you know looks to have had the best of luck with their AP Indy horses ie Tempera, Bernardini, Music Note come to mind
