Then again, of the 3 "top" horses I see who were sold over there and were entered in this race (Shahdon, Mandan, and Glory) none of them finished. Shahdon didn't start. So there's that. Perhaps they would have done better if their previous owners / riders had been riding them for the US. That is an arguement. OR... maybe selling 3 horses that didn't finish *is* a team strategy. Hmmm... <VBG> ;-) - Kathy Myers in Santa Fe, NM ... who showed dogs in the late 70's when the Japanese were coming over to buy top dogs for top dollar amounts. We all said we wouldn't sell *our* dog... but if a dog can send your kid through college... well... there is that. I'm not judging selling horses over seas. I'm interested in making sure 6 figure prices for good horses doesn't bring drug infractions into our own hometown AERC rides.
