Default more owners for curlin

judge ruled that 418 complainants own 20% of curlin.

i'd imagine that 20% will get snapped up about as quickly as the stud deal will be made, now that this is moving along towards resolution.

Seems a fair judgement to me.

I love it!

The new owners should realize they only own about $2000 worth of Curlin each ...

But let's say Curlin is worth $10 million dollars and sells for same tomorrow. 20% of that is 2 million. Divided by 418 =

$4784.69

Wow.

What is their lawyer so excited about again?

"

Well, that $5K apiece from Curlin will go far towards trying to settle the $100K each of them is due from the jailed lawyers in their settlement.

I wonder if Mrs. Cunningham will have to sell the owners Breeder's Cup trophy copy she gets? Ebay?

This sucks. So much for any chance of getting to see him run next year.

This makes me like Curlin so much more. I just could not bring myself to like a horse a lot if one of his owners was a crook. This is great news for the 418 people. I would say Curlin is worth at least 30 million dollars.
