Did you buy this horse for Dutrow?

No, I have nothing whatsoever to do with him, nothing, zero. I think Mohammed worked the deal.

What is your opinion if they really paid $500K for the horse? I don't see it unless they just think these million dollar races are up for grabs. None of these horses come the fall will be able to make any real money on the grass with the exception of these two races and one at arlington.

I was aware of the horse and have to admit the reason I never fished around on him was that I wasnt really that high on him.
That being said, IEAH is great bunch of folks, and I have been lucky enough to buy some horses that they bought. Rick is as good as they come, and I hope with all my heart that I was wrong not to consider him a horse I was interested in. I hope he wins the stakes race at Colonial.
