It's not possible these days, it seems, for all parties just to glory in an exceptional horse's achievements because of the huge financial impact. Coolmore will trot out the excuses because STS is a big threat to their new supersire, STS's half brother, GALILEO.Being by CAPE CROSS, a Darley sire, does not help their cause any.

STS may not make it as a super sire - hell, these days he may not even be fertile - I have no idea where he'll end up after his racing career is over but it's well-known that URBAN SEA's owners allegedly fell out with Coolmore a while back.

So that's why the fairly 'anti' Coolmore comments have been aired everywhere !
