I completely agree and I think most would as well. The thing that makes most people cringe is the thought of Iavarone and the IEAH posse plastered all over the Derby telecast and the entire scene.

No doubt the gigantic prices paid by groups like IEAH and Godolphin have changed lives in a very positive way. That, of course is the flipside to saying, "Greedy b.astards trying to buy their way to the top."
