If you are implying the Sheik admit the mistake is "sending his stable

Jason Levin spelled out clearly in his book Desert to Derby that the Sheik "is determined to win the KD with a Godolphin 3-yr old horse who wintered in Dubai". The Sheik "always gets what he wants" except a KD winner.

Soon the day will be here when Godolphin will own every Derby contender, and where they "winter will be irrelevant"
