Trio buys one-third (33%) of FREE COUNTRY... Gerbas rebuffed offered huge offers from IEAH and Sheikh Mo

Nathan Fox's Richland Hills, Lee Einsidler's LRE Racing, and Al Ferri’s Triple F Stable have purchased an interest in 2009 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) hopeful Free Country from John Gerbas Jr.'s Silver Wing Stable...

What you think cost wise Byk? Couple million?

If that horse sold for a few mil then there should be cuffs on Iavorone tomorrow

Exactly.. 2 million.. 2.5 million... somewhere around there.

Seriously I was just kidding, I didn't actually expect IEAH and Godolphin to each have half the Derby field. They're almost heading in that direction. It's not like they're geniuses though. I'd have gone for Patena if I were them too. Everyone talked about his 2nd place finish more than Friesan Fire's win it seemed like.

geesh, Seeking The Gold in both pedigrees .

i heard you talking about a big purchase of a 3 yo before you went to commercial yesterday...i guess the right stable, but the wrong horse( was thinking pamplemousse or flat out).
anyway, waited til you came back on to find out who, and then into the hotel. just got back from LA a few minutes ago.

anyway, it seems silly season has begun, with those with money chasing those with hot horses.
