Sport of Kings?
 
This used to be the Sport of Kings. Old Money, well bred horses, etc. Now I speak to a guy on the phone who works at Sherwin Williams and is looking to get into the game. Please.

I've been using Benji Moore. Go to the store on Broward Blvd/University. Bought 5 gals a month ago ... $150. "Medium" grade. Paint ain't cheap no more. Nice folks there, but come on.

Let me ask you a question. If I had an absolute homerun horse for you at a reasonabl price. A horse you had shown interest in, tied up my time with, tied up my resources. A horse that you had vetted, who passed with "The absolute cleanest xrays and throat I have seen on a horse" A horse who had 7 starts 2 wins 2 seconds, and a third, for 60k banked. Still had conditions to run, still on the improve. If I put my time in for a horse like that and he were priced accordingly, would you in turn buy the horse or jack me around for a few days. After which decide you wanted to come see the horse before you bought it? Then ice my guys for a few more days while you and your 3 partners decide if you can scratch together 15 grand a man. THEN on top of that try to chop out any commission built into the price. Dan would you do that, do you work at Sherwin Williams? If not this isnt directed towards you, or any other smaller owner. This is directed at a few particular guys. If you arent those guys, please dont take any offense. If you are those guys, wait....Im going to grab you.

There are people who would do that to you no matter what their economic status...it's a question of a person having class, and money does not buy that.
