NY-bred Partnership Update
Chuck has been doing some investigation, and is dissatisfied with the potential quality of NYB horse in training (claimer, etc.) we could likely purchase for the estimated $20,000-$25,000 we would raise.. The reason is that there simply are few NY-breds for this price that would have any potential or conditions to run through, as no one would sell one that could be grabbing the NY-bred money available if they had..
A good example is the colt that I was involved with, Funny Boy. He was sold privately for $25k, but had been sidelined a year with a serious injury which could re-surface at any time. He broke his maiden two weeks ago at AQU, and is 3/1-1-1, but John Parisella will have to be very careful with him to keep him whole.
The inclination if people are interested, is to buy a NY-bred yearling at the August NY-bred Select Yearling Sale instead. That means of course that partners would not see this purchase run until summer of 2008.. A second Dee Tee horse, a non-NYB, is also a possibility. We'll keep the ball in the air on this and address it further once I return to NY Thursday.. Thanks for the continued interest, as I know a number of you want to get into another horse.
