Sorry, I haven't noticed all their entrants in February at Aqueduct. They are a drain on the industry at the high end. I would love it if they announced tomorrow they were done with racing. Maybe racing would take over instead of breeding.

LOL, yeah I am still waiting for the 25k Darley maiden claimer in late January on the AQ inner.

Japan built their whole establishment on the great Sunday Silence and it has been successful. The quality of the horses and races is right up there now....I can only assume that the Dubai gang is hoping for a similar success story. And with their resources, they will get wherever they want. Simply a matter of time.

Yeah right , because so many American breeders and owners have the money and desire that they do .
How many American owned horses have been retired to the shed that you would consider premature ? I think people who are directly involved in the game know what an impact the Sheiks pulling their money from this country would do.
