http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/o...cky_Derby_run/, Vineyard Haven alone cost $12 million. And no one here seems to comprehend that entire focus of Team Dubai's dirt breeding and training operation is to win the Derby--anything else that falls out of the process is gravy. We are talking about hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade or so. Here's an interesting flashback: http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/...from_duba.html And here we get the update: http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2009/0...-1st-derby-win Quote:

![]() I guess I'm alone in that I hate Sheikh Mo, hate Pletcher, but love what Sheikh Hamdan has done for the game. And even after seeing the Derby I still believe that anyone betting a Pletcher horse not named Dunkirk was far more foolish than anyone betting a Dubai horse. As was anyone betting the winner.
