Well good.. you totally are in agreement then with the philosophy and approach being taken by DT Stables.. An non-investment, hobby opportunity for people who are "wealthy" collectively via a one time buy-in of $500. No other expense...

We are endeavoring to bring people into racing virtually risk-free, past the initial contribution. We are utilizing the generosity of Chuck Simon to absorb the day rate to eliminate the monthly fee partnership scenario. Not to impune other partnerships, but this isn't Soveriegn, Solaris, Karakorum or Castle Village...

It's a group of people that want to experience the game without the spectre of monthly expenses. We will be getting together at racetracks where Chuck (FG, CD, TP, SAR, etc..) competes for fun, and hopefully watch our horse(s) run.. It is a unique opportunity for most of the people who have gotten involved, and their excitement at being a part of it won't be detered by brickbat wielders and naysayers.
