One of the problems of the sport in general is to look the other way when something like this happens. Obviously the new owner who spent $270k on a $29000 horse was defrauded. But how much do you want to bet that the "unnamed" owner does nothing and even retains Buzz Chace to buy his horses? That is the sad part. How anyone could condone spending a quarter million on a Chief Seattle from this sale shows the guy is not really in touch with his horse operation. And all the BS about Jess Jacksons law and the sales integrity crap are just that, crap. The sales companies dont care about fraud unless they are being under the threat of being named in a lawsuit. I mean they make a lot more money on a ripoff deal like this one, than if the horse was sold for its actual worth.
