They make their money anyway.

I was annoyed with Holy Roman Emperor, too, but after a while i realised that if they wanted to have a really successful year, they needed a good Danehill to be standing, and it was just very unlucky that it was a 2yo that was the next best Danehill they had after GW. I don't like the fact they retire good horses early, but we have to remember that almost all the big organisation race to breed these days, as there is far more money in doing things that way.

Racing is a business now, just like most sports. Coolmore (although i don't agree with what they do now and again) can run a good business and they usually only rely on their own horses (either home breds or yearling buys) rather than Godolphin that seem to have to buy everyone elses horses and they still can't compete.

I guess you really have no clue how pro-Coolmore you come off. No point in arguing it further.
