    That is a real shame. They should allow AI like they do in show jumping world. Very tighly controlled

    He was the new Galileo for Coolmore and at 300,000 Euros a go he was an earner you could only dream about. He leaves behind Albert Einstein and several other promising 2YO who will be aimed at classics next season. Huge loss for Racing in general.
