Makes it hard to root for any horse when they are snatched up by the greedy and glory-desperate.

Perhaps Mr Randal is a multi-millionaire because he has made sound business decisions in the past. Steve, the guy still keeps 20 pts and takes down a pay. I have no idea of the guys net worth but it is certainly never a bad idea to go south with a few chips and come back to the game with less exposure, we are talking about TB horses right?
If Ms. Pitts is a pro then she understands this is all part of the game that she has elected to make her living at. Wouldn't you think that she received some compensation from Randal as well from the sale?
