i thought we didn't go over there as there are plenty of graded racing and big purses here. i also think a lot of 'their' horses come here to get ground they can't get over there, and to get in on some of the big purses over here. lots more to go 'round on this side of the atlantic.
plus, regardless of this guys opinion, everyone knows kentucky is the #1 place for breeding, and where better to showcase a possible international sire than over here? there's a reason giants causeway ran here, and that was for exposure before standing him here. then you look at a lot of their big horses, and they have (ky) next to their name, so there's no denying the influence we have on them and the sport over there.
also, as far as dubai...if they didn't have dirt racing over there, we wouldn't bother going there either. turf just isn't really where it's at with the u.s.
