It did you're right. From a fans point of view it was the worst thing that could have happened, but from a Business point of view, i understand why they did it. It was a shame, but we all know this industry is all about money, and breeders/owners certainly aren't going to get money for actually racing their horses over here at the moment with the prize money being as it is at the moment.

When the news about HRE getting reitired became public i was like "what?!?!", but after a while i realised why they needed to do it. That doesn't mean i agree that they did it, but i understood why they did.
