I would guess that very few of MePeeks runners this past meet were of the 50k variety.

Actually I don't think he had a horse over $150K and most ranged in the $50-$80K range. Of the juveniles he brought to the BC, the cheapest was Noble's Promise at $10K and the most expensive was Connie and Michael at $100K. One horse was a homebred and the other two were $80K.

Sorry, if I was buying horses - McPeek would be my guy!

You can look on his website and see most of his purchases and/or horses running under him (I don't think Freddy was specifing only the horses bought by McPeek when he mentioned McPeek's winners at the KEE meet) are closer to the 50K range than the 500K range...

The vast majority of horses listed are long since retired.

not to beat on the guy who just died, but he was a good trainer that had plenty of positives, including a morphine positive (and in this case, admitted usage without getting caught.) they all do whatever they can.

Please Chuck give the guy credit. He has won a a lot with horses that were not exactly a++ types. He won wth a lot 25 -100k types that turned out to be very good earners. I wish his 2009 on you and yours in 2010

OK, you win Chuck - he totally sucks as a blood-stock agent and a trainer and you're like the best EVAH.

You people are nuts. I said was skeptical that he won with a bunch of "50k types" at the last Kee meeting, you offer up a list of mostly long gone horses and suddenly I said all these things? Where did i say he sucks? Where did i say anything about me? Incredible. I am still skeptical that he won a bunch of races last meet with a bunch of 50k types and nothing you have shown with the exception of 1 horse says otherwise.

Not to burst any bubble, a perfect example of why not to get involved with a guy like McPeek is right here.

In his Private Offerings section, he has a 2008 Officer yearling filly available for 15k for 20%. That would be 75k for 100% of said filly. But he is keeping 20% of the filly, time to ask why?

Low and behold, that filly was bought in September for 50k, Hip# 2134. I'm sorry but within 45 days, she didn't jump 50% in value because she was eating Magdelena grass....

This would mean that he is selling 80% of the horse for 60k, so he is keeping 20% of the horse plus pocketing 10k.

Thats a great gig if you can get it to work. Knowing this, I would question every single invoice he ever sent.

That Purge colt he bought for 13k at the Fasig Tipton July sale, and 75% of that horse is for sale, for 30k.

When you are an owner of horses and you are earning money the invoices are a lot easier to pay then if you are blow thru 300k a year without much success. Who gives a F about invoices when you are earning.. Stop it give the man his due

freddymo is the guy who praised Madoff before the scheme collapsed.

I wasn't being negative on McPeek that much, I was just pointing out something I consider extreme on his part. I think it would be much smarter for him to be selling 80% for the total sale price instead of marking up the horse up. I would have no issue with him keeping 20% and recouping his expense.

All this is really means nothing because the guy is doing really well right now. Lets see where alot of these two year olds are late in their 3 year old year though. Personally, I would rather have a horse progress and be around for 20 starts, then have them blow their load within their first two starts and be a 10nw3 claimer by November of their 3 year old year.

You know he's not the only guy doing this right? The buyer should be doing their homework and if they feel the results are worth the mark-up so be it.

Personally I'd rather buy a horse for $75K, knowing McPeek is making out on the horse than buying a horse out-right at an auction for $200K from a guy who doesn't have McPeek's record of buying at the sales but that is just me.

The point is not to dis anyone as buying a yearling is exciting and risky at any level. The point is to praise someone who did well even if he took the first sip of cream off the top. I really hope Chuck and Bob win a g1 with any of their stuff. Heck just because Chuck and I dont see eye to eye certainly doesnt mean I don't wish him anything but the very best.

Marty,

Do you call McPeek often? You have horses with him? You do a lot of business with him? Or are you simply parroting someone else and their alleged issues with him?
