Worst 6K ever spent?

I google'd the owner/breeder ... his wife divorced him and got a $123.6 million settlement.

What a weird friggen horse. Who breeds to the sire Encosta De Lago (huh?) - and buys the horse from themselves for 500K as a yearling - only to nominate them late to the triple crown series off of a 4.5 furlong win at Mountaineer Park?

Probably trying to impress his woman by taking her to the Derby. Usually stupid decisions like this one are made because of some trim.

Watch the horse show up on the undercard. That should get him at least a couple motorboats.

Fipke got to the KD once before with Tagg trained Tale of Ekati who finished 4th....so I think you are right...the lust to be there overcomes all else....this horse is nowhere as good as TOE.

You do know that Encosta De Lago is one of the most expensive stallions in the world, right?

That's a breeding you would see commonly in England or Ireland.

No - I figured he just had a mare imported all the way from Australia who was like the Montbrook of Aussie sires.
