Possibly Winstar, more likely Coolmore. Perhaps the Dubai people.

Oddly handled. It's Ashford Stud (Coolmore). I didn't think this was news as the basics of a deal were reportedly in place last year.

You can call me a hater, but Funny Cide and Smarty Jones Preakness was more impressive than AP. And we all know that the breeding caught up with both of them in The Belmont. Just like it will do AP in. If Materialty had a clean break, he would be going for The Crown, not AP, Let it rain all you want, Belmont is redemption day for Materiality

Funny Cide ran up against a much better horse that was more ready for the Belmont than he had been for the Derby. SJ's Belmont was, in my eyes, his most impressive race.

If AP doesn't win the Belmont, it looks like he'll have at most 2-3 more chances to prove his once-in-a-blue-moon superiority:
""After his 3-year-old season that (retirement) decision would be made by Coolmore and myself, but I think he would retire then stand at Ashford," Zayat said May 20, shortly after announcing via Twitter that the 3-year-old son of Pioneerof the Nile would eventually retire to Ashford, the Versailles, Ky., nursery owned by Irish-based Coolmore. "I can't say definitely (when he will be retired), but horses become extremely valuable and expensive to keep with insurance and other costs and from a farm economics (viewpoint) it becomes economically silly not to retire him. Even (Triple Corwn winner) Secretariat retired after his 3-year-old season."" see http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...t-ashford-stud
