Yes, it was Prince Ahmed bin Salman.  He died that same year War Emblem won the Derby/Preakness (2002). I'm not sure who purchased War Emblem after the dispersal-will have to look into that.  I do know that whoever purchased him went through hoops trying to get him over his disinterest in breeding mares.

I just think more of the wealthy horse owners in general should contribute to funds that go to the care of thoroughbreds after their racing/breeding careers are over (many do contribute, but many do not and that needs to change).

Hopefully Baffert chipped in a bit, out of his trainer's share of the about 2 million winnings, he ought to be able to.

Yes, especially with the riches from this year!

 Was it TC when Burger King guy was in Baffert group?

 I read the money he got from BK was split between OF and other charities; I think the amount was $20,000 each charity.    Also, a couple of times, Baffert group has also donated some pretty expensive farm equipment, Kubota, to OF since SC and Dude arrived.

I thought Vicrtr donated his money to the City of Hope, or something like that. it is the charity he has been supporting for years.

 correction-it was $50,000 each to CARMA, Disabled Jockeys Fund, Old Friends and Victor did donate his to City of Hope.
