Of course, these are the only owners in the world for whom insurance costs can't possibly be an issue!
I would hope the fact that he didn't win the Classic might stick enough in the Sheik's craw that he would want to keep him racing for one more year for Bernardini's reputation. I noticed that before the race, Jerry Bailey was saying, "Rarified, brilliant, etc., etc, pick your word to describe Bernardini" and after the race he said, "And here Invasor runs by a very, very good horse in Bernardini"-- how fast the superlatives fall after a loss, huh? From being compared to Affirmed to "very good" in two short minutes.
