This is perfectly highlighted by the histories of two of today=s outstandingly successful breeding operations. The two I have in mind are those developed by Prince Khalid Abdulla and HH The Aga Khan, who between them have bred five of the last 12 Arc winners. Although these two breeders are very similar in that they rarely acquire new bloodlines at auction, their policies differ considerably. Whereas the Prince derives the greatest satisfaction from developing the families descending from mares purchased early in Juddmonte=s history, such as Frankel=s third dam Rockfest, the Aga Khan believes it is beneficial to occasionally introduce new families.
