Dubai to Vegas Equine, LLC., was quoted as saying “We are thrilled. There was a lot of interest, even as early as last year, in the syndication of this horse who has a large and committed following and is really a people's horse who draws a crowd, so we intended to have a great group of shareholders and have fun breeding within the syndicate. Selling all shares to one very gracious and able horseman was really more than I imagined. The horse will remain at Char-O-Lot Ranch and that was the deal clincher for me. Everybody is dazzled by this exceptional horse and the Prince was too. Everything was right so we happily cashed the check.”
