Ole Jess is NOT looking to earn selling horses nor is Darley.. Chuck the folks who are looking to maintain job security and a living are the engine behind such actions. Do you realize just how much money Darley and friends have? They could buy every single living horse in the world tomorrow the whole fn species

Freddy, he set up a huge commercial breeding operation. He was not duped into doing so. The guy wants to succeed in amking money at a game so many people say is so hard because that is what drives billionaires who are too old to do anything else anymore. To make money doing something that so many others fail in. Darley is ego driven on a different level and a lot of it has to do with being the top breeding outfit in the world which is currently the title held by their chief rivals. They certainly do lots of things that other operations cant afford to do but they do sell a lot of horses simply because of the numbers game and the fact that they are willing to do so many foal share deals where the foals or mares are contracted to sell. Neither operation is run by anyone but the top guy, Jackson and Sheikh Mo, they call the shots, period.
