Default Sweet Ducky Sold
Damn,prolly could have gotten Gourmet Dinner for the same price and he is already in the Derby.

So we got Sweet Ducky,Splash Point,Buffum all trying to make the KY Derby thru Dubai. A 2nd,3rd or 4th gets them in

Kelly Breen is probably the best pinhooker in the business

If they really liked SP or Buffum, they wouldn't have bought Sweet Ducky. It makes me wonder why they didn't at least try Biondetti, who ran a decent 4the BC, instead of sending him back to Europe.

I'm just glad the chances of me having to listen to his name being called has just decreased

He's going to Dubai?

This will be reflected in next Monday's update on my 'likelihood to win the Derby' thread.

His chances just diminshed from 2.0% to 0.25%. Frees up 1.75%!

This is a shame because he was going to be a very good bet in a prep that lacked a great deal of speed. He ran a sneaky good race in the Holy Bull.

I've never seen anything like it. And it seems as if every horse the Halls buy, runs. I'm sure that's isn't true, but it sure feels that way.

It does seem that way though none of them ever seem to be able to run up to the price they are resold for.

I'm pretty sure I know who bought the horse, and trust me, no one wants to know or investigate it. Guess we'll find out for sure in the next week or so, but it won't be pleasant.

Chances of seeing him in the Kentucky Derby, if it is who I think it is...ABSOLUTELY NONE. Save yourself the .25% DrugS, just take him off the list.

If Godolphin bought the horse, you'd know it. 99.78% sure it isn't them.

Ballpark. Once we know, I'll come on and confirm if it was who I think it was. I might know late tonight or early tomorrow.
