Regardless, by selling a ton of horses, one can certainly cannot draw a line and say he's a nonprofit or doesn't have profit in mind by selling horses. However, to say that he "does it for the money" is a fallacious arguement.

He got into the game as a commercial breeder and a very large one at that. He sells lots of yearlings, lots more than he runs. Which is fine but he isnt in this game because he loves the sport or anything flowery. He is in it as a business again which is fine and certainly his right but he is hardly involved in the game to be a "sportsman".
