Well, I'd venture a guess that the Coolmore and Godolphin operations still care a bit. Aidan O'Brien did bring a few over last year and has done so for quite some time. As far as serious interest beyond those two and maybe Juddmonte? No, no way.

Coolmore are very sporting indeed, they even show up in Australia(Melbourne Cup) for bragging rights.

I'm just not sure if the BC is what it used to be, I used to get all jazzed up for this event, but lately it has been a yawn. The turf races have been substandard or atleast not the quality of when the Europeans would send multiple quality horses.
