Hot O'Neill Firster: HOL 5 -- 11/18

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Interestingly enough, Bob Lepenta bought him as a yearling for $140K. He sold him at a strong loss for $42,000 at Keeneland April this year....and he's a guy who rarely is willing to cut loose his pinhooks for a loss.

I didn't hear the Haskins segment - but I'd assume his stock must have soared since April to be a hot firster - rarely are types who sell for 3.5 times less at 2yo sales than they did as yearlings good bets on debut.

Can't you even spell his name right?

Says the man who just spelled Johnny V's last name with an 's' instead of a 'z' in the AQU cancellation thread.

Bob LaPenta didn't cancel racing at Aqueduct without being involved in the races......he deserves respect Johnny V doesn't.

I just hope that one day they put a statue of Johnny V. next to the Sea Hero one at Saratoga.

Or - name a street after him like they did with Bird Town.

Both no doubt ways of showing respect to owners.

Have to admit I admire a guy who notices something like that, then pulls it out when he needs it as ammo. Just the kind of annoying thing I might do myself. ;>)

Hot and O'Neill Firster. Does not compute.
