Also, the Sheikh bought an expensive Vindication(of Hill 'N' Dale) colt recently. I think Vindication is on his radar. The Sheikh seems particularly enamored of the Seattle Slew line now, a very potent force in American dirt racing. At least he is keeping horses here for now at Darley/Jonabell. It scares me to think of Slews leaving us and going overseas.

mo didn't own madcap, bruce lunsford did. he sold her, claiborne acting as agent, to sikura..and then mr lunsford went to sikura and asked to be allowed to buy half of her back, said she had a special place in his heart...i'll find a link.

Thanks. I know Mo did not own Madcap, but I thought he would buy her! I am not an insider and it is just my outsider take on what Mo wants to buy.
