John Ferguson, Sheikh Mohammed’s bloodstock advisor said: “We are delighted to have purchased a half-share in New Approach; he is one of the outstanding two-year-olds of 2007 who has the scope, pedigree and quality to go on to be a top prospect for the Classics next year.”
Just aslong as he doesn't go to Godolphin, i don't really care.

It is becoming very annoying and boring now, though. When people begin to buy what they see as competition it stops being a sport, and that is exactly what is happening in England and Ireland right now.

Fans are leaving the sport, prize money is way down, less people are watching on the TV. Now, i'm not for one minute saying the sheikhs are to blame, but they are certainly not helping things over here by doing this mass buying
