I'm not in the wrong business. It doesn't sound like you have much business sense when it comes to horses if you think that Bernardini should run next year. The insurance alone would cost $5 million a year.
I'm confident that if the Maktoums insured their horses the total bill would be larger than the GNP of most small countries.
