I have read it Joel, and I agree that all of the horses you mentioned are very talented.
When they have so many horses to choose from, it is due time that they start winning the big ones regularly.
They sure do have a lot of slow-ass horses around the world though. Some in Australia and the U.K. that I have seen don't belong in a claiming race at Churchill.
I wonder what their success rate is as far as earnings/costs? How many horses do they race/breed every year that never amount to anything?
Is there anywhere to look at this data?
Do you feel that their business practices are prudent? Although it is hard to envision making decisions where money was no issue.
By the way, I think Shamardal will be a very successful stallion for them. Your thoughts?
