If Darley wanted him badly enough they would have gone back in and bought him.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29906331/coolmore-purchase-darley-reject-for-a-reported-30-million-dollars?post_id=531884063#531884063MAKFI is a worse case of one getting through the net but these things will always happen.

Perhaps a time might come when we have to concentrate more fully on that aspect than is currently the case and look outside the box a little like you suggest.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29906331/coolmore-purchase-darley-reject-for-a-reported-30-million-dollars?post_id=531836773#531836773Well I'm all for upping the soundness and raceability of the tribe Castiron.

His progeny are very sound, they give their best all the time and they love wet tracks.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29906331/coolmore-purchase-darley-reject-for-a-reported-30-million-dollars?post_id=531835165#531835165I can understand that, but Lonhro is every bit as good a sire as Exceed And Excel.The strange thing is Lonhro would have done pretty well in Europe.

I think his damline is plenty recognisable to us up here. It will be interesting to see how much patronage Coolmore mares give him, but he seems most likely to mehttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29906331/coolmore-purchase-darley-reject-for-a-reported-30-million-dollars?post_id=531829963#531829963Castiron, I am sure they do hope that Pierro proves so great that they can shuttle him.

It was an interesting purchase by Coolmore, as Pierro is free of Danehill. I'm guessing they are hoping for another Fastnet Rock and the opportunity to shuttle him, if he proves successful.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/29906331/coolmore-purchase-darley-reject-for-a-reported-30-million-dollars?post_id=531816175#531816175I can see your point about needing a culling program.
