but ist that true for most big players ??? Why single out SHK MO ??

Thanks, Jim. I'll bump up GW's thoughtful analysis because I love it when people are SO sure of something:

It will be no more competitive than any of his races, even if George Washington and David Junior take to the dirt.

You guys who dislike the trainer and the owners need to learn that horses don't know who their trainers and owners are. They are animals and the fastest ones win.
No room for any doubt there, I guess.

Thanks, that type of analysis is deserving of a bump. The kool-aid was really flowing when he penned that missive.

I just hope he is not scheduled for any more guest lectures on copywrite law.

I imagine he will be back shortly. He doesn't strike me as the kind to just go away, he hasn't yet.

Every one of the major owner/breeders knows that breeding is where the money is. The racing (for all of them) is merely a means of establishing the breeding value of a horse.

This is true of everyone from Sheikh Mohammed to the Coolmore gang to Mr. Farish to Fusao Sekiguchi to Shadai Farm.

Sadly the modern racing fan needs to deal with the fact that the only reason for the racing career is to establish breeding value and once that value is maximized, the horse will leave the racing realm.
