And, for a good portion of the horses, there might be restricted competitors. We dwell in a market the place there’s some fragmentation, and there’s segmentation and that is going to proceed for some time.”
“Any horse that you simply actually wish to purchase, it will be very fierce competitors, and for others, might be much less competitors than any of us would hope.”
