Well done. A couple of things here. If you back out the last 2 for 14 stretch he was 32.5%. Putting him in the middle of the 2022 and 2023 years. Also his overall Runner #'s are double what they were in 2021.
Which leads me to my bigger point. He said they had made a decision to run a string of horses here year round. Ones they felt were more suitable for American Racing as opposed to (me talking here) Goodwood, Newmarket, Chantilly, Ascot etc.....
When he was 46% those runners were coming from those Tracks and swarming our Grade Ones. Now a lot of these Runners he moved here run in the Dubai Winter Circuits and frankly I don't think those races are any good. (Not World Cup Day). He has run horses like Silver Knott 3 times as an uncoupled entry (both can't win) and horses like Ottoman Fleet are nice Grade 2 or 3 types but not kind he was bringing from those aforementioned European Tracks and running over the Top of Grade One fields here.
I'm glad he is here with extra horses for our circuits. I'm not glad he has been taking so much of my money in his recent 2 for 14 or with Silver Knott dating all the way back to my Breeders Cup late double with Forte when he lost the Juvy Turf by a nose.
