Where are the loudmouths who bashed IEAh?
You know, I seem to rermember a few folks who ridiculed IEAh for purchasing Kip at 500 grand. They spoke of inferior pedigree and assorted other nonsense.
Well guess what??!!! they got back 200 K today in his first start for them and after running 6 furlongs in 1:08:4 witha 17 length lead and breaking from the 14 hole with an inexperienced jock, they could selll him now for a mill with no problems, most likely more.
The winner was great, no doubt, but really he had a great jock on his back and saved all ground from the one hole while the other horse put on a dazzling display from an awful post with a minor league jock. The difference between the two is marginal at best, and if you asked me who I think will be a factor going forward, I would say Kip will be at LEAST as prominent as Showing Up will be. I guess maybe that 500 grand was a bargain huh? Maybe you guys should let bloodstock agents do the buying, obviously your opinons aren't much good.
