I don't really get why people care who owns a horse in their retirement. As far as I know they don't overbreed their stallions like so many others do. Without even denting their bank account they could have bought all of these same horses they have bought recently for their racing careers. Give them some credit for not doing that and completely ruining the game (not that it isn't because the trainers of those horses are still avoiding each other like the plague).

But they do buy so many horses a year for their racing careers, the reason you never hear about them is because they go off the radar, and if that isn't ruining the game, i don't know what is.

Darley have sponsored so many races over here just lately....... guess who has been winning most of them? Coolmore.......... have Darley/Godolphin even had a runner in them, no.

They probably buy more racehorses than stallions each year by far.

Oh, and today i found out that Caradak was lame two days before his reappearance and now he is very sore unsurprisingly.
