Understood..pal...I appreciate..ce thing la in fact remains very puzzling..Rep Country is as grey an area as it is.
In Japan..most if not all horses sired by SUNDAY SILENCE are labelled "Japan" ...guess the domicile of a horse
is what they refer to..and of course these horses are predominately trained in Japan by japanese trainers,
owned and bred by japanese too.

In this case RP is trained & stationed in Europe and owned/bred by American Stonerside which later sold it to Arabs
around BC day...so emitting a very blur signal of where it rightly belongs. By the way, RP is trained by Cambridge
U graduate, John Gosden, who was born in Sussex and now lives in NewMarket, England.

Then when an European horse is shipped to stay and race in US..it becomes a US subject ? Somehow I found this
domicile theory unacceptable.

RP, Sakhee and GC were bred in KY..so all are of true US origin IF going by their ancestral route up the tree
to a certain point but turns Arabian going further up towards the oil-rich GULF at the dead end...but everyone
knows Sakhee and GC are bona fide European boys.

Just merely for a round of mind cracking exercise...

I think Sea The Stars has their measure in the Derby. As far as the Classic goes, what about Mine that Bird?
