not so sure that they are buying up what they consider the best, or just making sure coolmore can't. but i suppose they think by buying up all the top colts, they are assured a place in the future.
i think it's crazy. no real plan--and if this is their thinking, who decides what mares go to whom??

if you fail to plan, you plan to fail(don't you love cliches?). no rhyme or reason, just snap them all up. crazy stuff.

At last, someone with sense..........

Godolphin/Darley don't have a plan, do they even have a clue? They are just mass buying, hoping that something works out. If it doesn't they just go and buy more and more until it does work. Which is why i have said that these stallions better be a hit for your sakes, of the buying will never end.

They have done the same over here with racehorses that they have no intention to breed from, they have just been buying up the racing competition, and they still can't compete. It's a joke.
