cheers for sheik hamdan

[Danzig]

best known for being the owner of HOY and globetrotting champion Invasor, the sheik has taken a step in the right direction. gotta love it when someone truly does what is right for his horses. he has limited invasors and jazils stud book to 85 mares, as he feels the current trend towards 100 or more is too much for a stallion, is bad for his health, and the drive towards such a high mark can require a stud to cover four mares a day-which is ridiculous! of course it might be a reach to get jazil to 85....i kid, with his family tree, he's bound to have a full book.
at any rate, once again i applaud hamdan, who brought invasor back for another year of racing when he dammed sure didn't have to. and now this. what are the chances that others will follow?
