Speaking in terms of this, do international breeding farms like Coolmore, Juddmonte, Shadwell, etc. do you suppose they try to market their American standing stallions to Europe and introduce those bloodlines there or do they just go with what they've developed in Europe? It'd be interesting to see a solid mix of American and European bloodlines in a very successful racehorse like a Kentucky Derby winner or Tripe Crown winner.

I think they view them as two diiferent markets and treat them as such. If a racing surface that has no racing bias comes in everywhere than I think they might try market stallions Internationally. Until than, if they're not tried over here they're not used and visa versa.
