Greed and parasites? Unbelievable. What if you, your family or a close friend was fortunate to breed such a wonderful horse? Then after winning a Triple Crown you decided to take the hundreds of million dollars that retirement would bring? Does that make you a greedy parasite?
Most owners and breeders in this business lose money. Many continue to pour it in because of pure love for the horses and sport.
