This is a good point, however, I guess my question is -- is it that simple? The Derby is a big goal of theirs. If this is "where they winter their horses" so to speak, then doesn't that become the route or "plan" to get to the Derby (which is just one of the goals, although it seems to be a big goal)? Sure it is -- they want to do it their way. They are using their wintering of their horses as their plan to get to the goal -- the Derby. What I mean is that perhaps the "plan" to get to the "goal" should be strategic and feasible. Maybe it should be reassessed. Would an alternative plan "disrupt" their whole setup being that there is a goal in mind? I don't mean to go in circles here, but I guess it comes down to a few simple items.
First, I want to do it my way. Second, my goal is that I want to win the Derby. If my way isn't working, I either change my way or change my goal. Sure, it's oversimplified. But they stable horses all over the world. I don't know if it's a disruption as much as it's more efficient planning.
Thanks.
