He went because was sick of the conflict between management he has moved to another management role away from racing.
The article was well written, and to my knowledge, the only former employees that gave opinions were those tha had left before things got bad there.
Vince (Smith) trains on his own now.
I still have two friends that are working there as work riders and both are training to do different things (one a farrier and the other a stock broker) to get away from it all.
Sniper - it is ruining the fun for the smaller owners. The money is certainly a bonus for them, but it ruins the fun of seeing their good horses run in their own silks and it stops them from going into ownership again for the majority of them.
Godolphin have far too much greed for their own good, and it is backfiring on them.
Reduce the buying of horses, reduce the size of the string, have a major management shake up, and they might be getting somewhere.
I would love to see them compete at racing level with Coolmore and Juddmonte, but they are failing to do that at the moment, but with the money and staff they have....... why? ask yourselves that.
