The Michael Gill/Penn National Riders Saga

[The Indomitable DrugS]

You think a 6% trainer at Sam Houston paid any money for a horse that just was unable to even finish a 5k claiming race - and was beaten a combined 56.5 lengths in the two starts before that?

A horse that she would have had to ship thousands of miles on her own dime...to run for piss poor purses?

Do I know for a fact that the horse was sold for $1? No. But, I think it's pretty obvious the horse was a giveaway.

I thought I remembered Gill saying he gave away his sore and bad horses for $1 and a lot of them went to a Sam Houston buyer... and he raced only the ones in good shape or good form.
