Iavarone bought his piece of the horse from Paul Pompa, a New Jersey guy who runs a Brooklyn trucking company. Pompa was offered some $1.5 million extra for Big Brown from the stable run by Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, who doubles as the most powerful man in horse-racing. No one says no to the Sheik. But Pompa did, because he wanted to keep a 25% share in Big Brown.

...terrorist attacks: that this was a case of America's "chickens coming home to roost." He tried to say he was merely quoting U.S. Ambassador Edward Peck-but Wright chose to interpret those "chickens" not as the decision to place U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, which was Osama bin Laden's casus belli, but as the ancient sins of slavery, the eradication of Native Americans, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
