Can anyone explain why you wouldn't go back to A.P.Indy? Seems a no brainer.

Ambassador Farish seldom buys a horse, let alone one for a lot of money, while Sheikh Mohammed often spends millions on horses by his sires.

Thought of that, but certainly the arabs are willing to spend big money on an AP Indy. And if I recall, the Tabor people did pay $1.9 million for Rags to Riches as a yearling

And Casino Drive is by a son of AP Indy.

It's possible both horses have question marks regarding their breeding soundness, given their respective ages and recent history (ie the mare aborted, barren last 2 years; ridgling stallion over 20 years old and fee substantially reduced this year).

A.P. Indy failed to get her in foal in 2008, so they're probably just sticking with what works.

That makes more sense. Guess there isn't an AP Indy son 'worthy' of her-seriously-maybe Pulpit . Altho never been a huge fan. Feel Malibu Moon has done better with much worse mares-Pulpit has had cream of Claiborne's band.

There is also the fact that Zenyatta is by Street Cry:)
