It doesn't shock me that the horse was moved to a different trainer because Holthus sticks with McKee through thick and thin and the new connections are obviously big timers and want the horse under a bigtime trainer.

I was hoping he would've been sent to Zito since his record with 3 year old or older males is much more illustrious than Pletcher. Todd seems to have tough luck with the boys.
He didn't leave everything to the lawyer. The lawyer is the executor of his estate. The executor is legally obligated to act in a fiscally responsible way on behalf of the heirs. IMO, selling LR for far more than his worth was a great act on behalf of the heirs. They got a buttload of money into the estate by selling at the maximum of his value.
