Himself, hes the one that ultimately makes the decisions. Youd think a guy whos put so much money into the game would have a few guys at his side willing to guide him in the right direction. At least not wanting him to get burned

He used to have the best advisor in the world. Ron Ellis used to advise him on everything, but he and Ellis had a falling out and have parted ways.

The same thing would have happened to Malibu Moon if it weren't for Ellis. Ellis found the right place for the horse to stand and Hughes has made millions off that deal. It was Ellis who encouraged him to stand Malibu Moon and Ellis who found the right place for the horse to stand.

When you have a future stallion who was not a star racehorse, you have to really know what you're doing to find the right deal. You have to shop around and find the right state and the right farm for the horse to stand in.
