[RC] Regard buying the best - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Dian Woodward dwcsarabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== They are no longer "buying up the best". They are breeding their own. They own many breeding farms w/top racing lines here in the US. They buy a few to keep us playing w/them. Its obvious they don't have to buy them. If they see a special one then they'll offer. Why didn't they buy the winners of Tevis for the "big bucks"? Because they're learning that not all horses stay sound after winning 100 mile races. Its cheaper to invite you over than pay the big bucks for a possible unsound horse. Once you prove the horse on their turf then they may offer to buy it. Maktoum has a huge breeding/racing barn here, both Arabians and Thorobreds. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
