Sheikh Mohommed and other foreign major Thoroughbred buyers have purchased the top breeding and racing stock for the last serveral years. Now that they own most of the best of the best, it is only reasonable that the market will go through a major corrects.

The ultimate thrill of owning Thoroughbreds is the thrill of seeing your Thoroughbred compete and win. That will never change.

The depressed market will make it more affordable for the middle-class owner to purchase a competitive horse - one that may even become a Classic contender.

The beauty of Thoroughbred racing is that its not the price paid for the horse that determines the winner- its the first horse to the finish line that wins.

It is puzzling that investors continue to pay such high prices for AP Indy colts (notwithstanding how good they look). They seldom ever mature in time to win any of the Triple Crown races (Bernadini being the only exception in many years) and relatively very few become stars on the track. His filly progenies are much better investments both as runners and broodmare prospects but this appears not to be recognized.

Regarding the apparent lack of confidence concerning the Whitney Todd Pletcher is a modest man and prefers to let Quality Road do the bragging on the track ...he's one boasty son of a ...Strawberry Road mare in both looks and talent.
