this is the main point.

remember a year or so ago when Godolphin stopped buying yearlings by Coolmore/Ashford sires in some sort of protest against Tabor and Magnier not supporting their stallions at the sales?
it did not last long, but it brought out the point that Coolmore has totally kicked Godolphin/Darley's as* in the stallion/breeding industry?

Darley has E Dubai.
Coolmore has Giants Causeway.
see the difference?

they needed an AP Indy to do what Bernarndini did to help them catch up in this race.
