second this. every person in that story passed the buck.
I dont care how great a guy Joe Grant is or TJ Kelly is...they did not perform their due diligence and research the person they gave this horse to...and I'm sure both of them are very familiar w stable mail....it would take a matter of hours for a workout notice to find its way into an inbox and alert them that this horse was at a racetrack. there is such indifference once a horse has left the barn...i'm guilty of it too at times, its nice to see the pig who eats the most and contributes the least go to a new home...however, no horse ever deserves to see that sugarcreek auction. or new holland etc.
stepping up after the fact and paying for his rehab is a sad substitute for doing the right thing in the first place.
A cautionary tale for the DT stables people...you should insist that your horses go to a reputable and recognized recue organization, not just the first person in the shedrow who expresses an interest.
another article, a bit dramatic but provides additional details about his "journey"
