Why I like Osin:

The most positive person in racing, 72 year old exercise rider for Classic Causeway! (when he went to ascot) 
what a GEM~

He only has 2 speeds: slow, and very fast, then runs a 2nd graded stake race 4 days later:

The Queen loved horses, but I think she also really enjoyed people, she remembered:

Four-time leading sire Into Mischief, who has broken records with 15 seven-figure yearlings to sell this year, 

What per cent will be culls, My guess 40% = 6

anybody else?

Not taking anything away from IM, but I never really warmed up to him or his progeny, for the most part.   Did you notice that Rock Your World is standing for only $7,500?  Out of the Spendthrift gang I really like Omaha Beach, Mitole, Vino Rosso, and Mo Don.

Isn't it hard to Imagine one sire has 15 millionaires in one crop before the end Of September with more sales to go
this years. These big groups getting 4 and 5 together are driving the sales out of business sooner or later

and are not spreading the Moolah out to all nicks  Fappiano, AP Indy and Storm Cat lines and these 3 nicks
are intertwined in North America and Hardly any Royal Charger thru Turn Two left There in Japan and Tiznow

is about it  World Wide for Man O War and The Godolphin Darley line.

Yes, them and the ones like Mandy Pope with her ceiling-shattering broodmare band.  Pretty soon no mere mortals will be able to be racehorse owners.  

If it's the sport of kings though, and we are totally reverting back to that, and that kind of money is needed, so be it........but then let's treat the horses like the royalty that THEY are, too.   Stop messing them up with drugs.   The breeders who were in this game back when it WAS truly the Sport of Kings were not anything like the "commercial breeders" of today.  They didn't need the money, they were captivated by the thoroughbred breed itself, being the magnificent creatures they are.   And kept many homebreds to race themselves.    (no need to go thru those names, we all know who they were.)
