best of luck lads... You should do just fine with Chuck!!

Good luck guys! I will be rooting for your horses!

Thanks Buffy... (But, for now.. it's "horse".. singular)...

This is very exciting news. Certainly the closest to ownership I will ever get. Thanks, Steve and Chuck, for putting this together. It will be a fun ride.

Paul

Eventually, it will be horseS. :) I have faith.

Good luck, everyone! :)

Just incredible, I can't thank you guys enough ... Steve, Chuck, Hooves and whoever else I am missing just a big THANK YOU for everything !!!

Steve --

Will we get a list of members/owners? Just to make sure you got my check -- I'm a bit on the paranoid side.

Will try to get the Partner List up tonight if possible...

Good Luck to everyone!! If my circumstances were different I'd be part of it in a heartbeat.. Maybe some time down the road!

I think I'm going to get a different envelope and type the address

your handwriting is kinda awful

Thanks again!

btw.. had to edit cause I had a typo
open mouth
insert foot

TOO COOL. If you were near the west coast I would be all over this deal. Have fun and best of luck.

steve-don't forget (i'm sure you haven't but..) to mail or email that paper to me please.

i am so thrilled to see we are ready to go with this. truly a dream come true--sounds smarmy, but it's true.

i am THRILLED!

hey, when we (cannon) buy, we are going to get a picture of this horse, right--just to tide us over til the first winners circle pic of course!!

steve, chuck, thanks so much. you guys have gone way out on a limb for this, i appreciate it very much--i'm sure everyone involved does.

Good luck to all that are involved. Hopefully you will allow me to live vicariously(I need Bykster's dictionary, dude uses crazy words sometimes) through you all since I would rather spread that $500 on multi 7/5's at Cal-Expo.... :) :)

Not much anymore because I have MY FIRST CAR PAYMENT....severly hurting my action....

lets go
 

I Am Glad To Be A Partner In This Operation. I Hope I See Alist Of All The Names As Well. Thanks

I will be pulling for you guys.

This is some ""hot"" news on these Chilly days..... Im glad I got my check in and ALL the others who stepped up to the plate ! I see a disney movie in the works allready..... :D :D :D :D Thanks Steve & Chuck for your work on this to give us little guys some dreams !

Hi Steve,

Can you provide us with a general overview of where the stable stands at this point in time, please? How much cash do you have?

Is there going to be a vehicle where we can get timely updates on what's going on, other than through this list? Are you going to send emails, have a web page with info updates, etc?

Thanks - can't wait to get started!!!!!

Tech,

Was actually just putting the email addresses together for the Partnership Mailing List when I looked at this!

We've got $18,500 in the bank and probably another $7,000-$9,000 coming in over the next two weeks... Chuck has spotted a 3yo filly that's been running at Turfway (5/1-0-0) and likely needs lawn that might be available for between $12,500-$15,000. And there's a 4yo at Gulfstream with a preference for grass that's been running for $35,000 and may be available for $25,000 privately that has come up... Just two possibilities... There's a chance we could end up with two horses that are both in the $10,000-$12,500 range...

We could be up and running by as soon as the end of February.. certainly by early March... We'll use a section of this website for news and photos, etc., and I'll be communicating to everyone via email too...

I've gotten a bunch of email and PM's from everyone, and now that it's really happening, people seem tremendously excited... Now we just have to get a little lucky with a solid, sound animal or two!

Thanks to everyone who's been so receptive and responsive to this crazy idea!

Steve

Yipeee! This is so exciting!!!

I hope to get a check out this week. I'm in.

Okay, this is indeed exciting and fun. Hearing you guys talk about it a bit yesterday on ATRAB added to it. I'm sending in another share purchase to help ensure we can do what we need to <g>

I'm just outside Lexington, and I am seeing a good excuse to visit Saratoga for the first time ... Looking forward to meeting the rest of you crazy people when the horse runs.

Steve, post those silks when you have them! :-) Will have to check with accountant on if fly-in/fly-out road trip and purchase of Dee Tee color-coordinated race day outfits (okay, a hat, but I'm sure it will be quite a nice hat) can possibly be written off .... <vbg>

i also am interested in the silks--my daughter keeps asking about stuff like that.
i'm also wondering if there will be hats or shirts available. i'm willing to send in $ to pre-order. i'd love a shirt, as i don't wear hats much. steve, i know you have SO MUCH free time to take care of such mundane details!:rolleyes:

Working on silks approval.. Never that easy getting exactly what you want, but the colors are "DT Blue" and Cream with Green accents or regalia.. As soon as there is an OK on silks design we'll get some merchandise to reflect it..

That's awesome, Steve! I can't afford to be a part of the partnership, but I'll definitely sport the hat and shirt. :cool: Love the colors, too.

SWEET! i figure silks might be as difficult to get approval as naming a horse...

i'll have to find someone to make me a big ass coffee cup with the silk pattern on it for work!

Prospect
 

Derby Vow, 5th race TP on Saturday. Chuck's gotta be looking at that one for $15K... right?


What a name on that one, huh?!? :D

Absolutley In..!!
 

Please take this reply as my interest in joining the partnership. I have waited for an opportunity like this that would allow me to participate.

Heck I will even offer to sing a tune or two at our celebration party!

Tony Clifton

I am again formally requesting a prospectus so I can join the fun.
I have tried to email you Mr. Byk. If anyone else got a prospectus and can PM me one I would appreciate it. The money is just settin here.

Got your private purchase, winner of the 4th at Aqu today at 53-1:

Miss Dee Bee Tee :p

the second place horse from that race needs to be in against maiden claimers

Confirmed quitter goes off as the favorite, has EVERYTHING possible go in her favor, and still can't get it done.

How does Karakorum continually purchase such bad horses? And does Jeff Odintz know ANYTHING about how to train a racehorse??

Boy, you dont see many quit like that pig did

It's called the Karakorum Kurse. They can't win.

I like Chuck, but not when he leaves Kentucky. Also, Partnerships may be fun, but they end up as money suckers. Just another way to pay the bills. Why do you think Most trainers do not own horses? Money suckers. Owning horses is not an investment, it's a hobby and love for the wealthy.

that's why partnerships are good, if you find the right one. that way, those of us who aren't wealthy can join in the hobby. thing is, none of my other hobbies are money makers either....

Owning 1/20th of a horse is fun? Maybe 150-200 a month, plus the buy in is in your budget for this Fun.
Linda Rice has a barn full of these types, but I only play her horses on the turf, at 5-1/2 furlongs;)

ok, so don't join the partnership. i intend to get more deeply into ownership in a couple years. appreciate your 'kind words'.:rolleyes:

You just joined this place and you are knocking this partnership? To what end?

If you aren't interested then don't join.
