I would go with either IEAH or Sheik Mo as my disdain for them is less than it is for Jackson / Assmuseen. I keep waffleing on which of the two I would choose so I would probably end up do what I always do ask my wife. She would probably say IEAH eventhough they're a "Swarmy" bunch. At least we could get a few good laughs out of Dutrow.

In the end though all of their money is green ans accepted at the local liquor store where I'd be drowning my sorrows after making what would probably be the most difficult decision of my life. And no I wouldn't be drinking any of KJ's wines.

Very Thought provoking exercise.

I guess Godolphin was feeling a bit left out too.
I wonder what they paid for him.

I like all three so it would be a difficult choice for me. I think the deciding factor would be if I sell him to Godolphin, when he runs in the World Cup the next year, I could probably get a free trip with all expenses paid over to Dubai out of the sheikhs. I'd go with them.

Assuming they were all the same offer, I would play them against each other and hope the price gets to $16 million.

This is just stupid. Why would anyone pay that much for a horse that's won four of five, including the Derby.........when they could buy an unraced yearling for that same price? I don't get it.
