The extent to which Sheikh Mohammed is prepared to go to almost any price to secure a horse on which he has set his heart is revealed in the latest edition of Timeform's Racehorses annual, published last Wednesday.
Their story has Darley, Sheikh Mohammed's bloodstock operation, sending an agent to enquire about the price of a promising juvenile in America. When the owner asks for "a staggering $60m", the agent does not even bother to respond. Then Coolmore, bitter business rivals to the Sheikh, step in and do a deal.
