![]() oh, yeah...cause the shiek couldn't afford it, right?? the meyerhoffs did it, they raced the bid at four, to the enjoyment of all, and it cost them money to do so. yeah, i know all about business--and it's that mindset that is ruining this sport. it's no longer the involvement of those who love horses, want to enhance the breed, and show what they've accomplished by racing the best that they've bred.
yeah, things change, doesn't mean i have to like it. it's a shame that one race is suddenly the barometer of what a horse has accomplished, that one year is 'doing enough'. i think it's bs. he'll be the greatest since GZ. but won't belong anywhere in the same league as those who have achieved legendary status. again, like finley said a few years ago, great isn't so great anymore. |
