Here's the latest - I just spoke with the trainer and he wasn't real receptive to a sale. Said the horse is training great and he thinks he should win today. He also thinks another trainer may claim him (his claiming price is $2,500 today) but if I want to buy him I've got to give him the "$3,500" he paid for him in Arizona (and probably more than that to compensate him for his loss). Anyone know someone with a trainers or owners license in Nebraska that could claim the horse for me? I'll pay $2,500 (I was hoping I could get him for less than that, I've still got to pay for transportation and boarding while he re-schools).
This isn't as easy as I had hoped it would be... but I'm still trying.
