I also think its pretty apparent that there must be more to this than meets the eye. Gann has had more success than any owner in racing on a dollars and cents level. He didn't pay a million bucks for Medaglia, Peace, and You COMBINED!!!
Something of a personal nature, I suspect, caused this split. It obviously wasn't a performance issue.

Personality
 

I know someone who once had just one horse with Frankel and he told me (for what it is worth) that Bobby is very very shy to the point that he has much difficulty being sociable. This owner said that he is very soft spoken and the horse in question that he had was not up to being part of Frankel's stable and Bobby told him without looking at him when speaking that he should move his horse elsewhere.

So, if this is any indication, maybe it was from a personality standpoint as Oracle suggests. But, that is just conjecture...

PSH

JOEL OVERLOOKED YOUR POST OR JOEL WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REDUNDANT :D

Gann was probably tired of his horses ending up with no feet.:rolleyes:

Hey, I am sure Dixie will be able to fill us all in about Boy Wonder. Seeing how he's been sleeping with him for the past 30 yrs.:p
