No one else is capable of that in the beer industry, let alone the horse biz. I don't think you have an appreciation for exactly how much money he does have.
I probably don't, never really thought on that scale, but some are stating that he is destroying the industry, when in fact, it is the industry that is destroying itself and a few select helping move forward with the destruction, he is the head kingpin in the destruction, but he is doing more for horse racing then the others are, at least from what I can tell. It is very lopsided as far as where the money comes from.

Look, it is a bad cycle, any time you have uneven power, it leads to conversations like this, both hatred and love, opinions from both sides, with essentially no right or wrong, no solution or plan

Sooner or later, it will even out, 10 years ago, he wasn't in the American industry, who is to say that in 10 years he will be around....
