and let me ask you this? if the horse had been with pletcher and bought and sent to Pitts would you be this outraged? my guess is no, because you like one and don't like the other.

I'm not outraged exactly.. just bothered by this troublesome trend. The Randal's have two dozen broodmares and farms in KY and CA. They've had some nice horses and for all they know, this could be as nice a horse as they've ever had. (Brother is the good Bear Character). I don't understand why they would be so compelled to sell. Why are they in the game? They have a homebred like this and Helen brings him along and they sell out?

But hey, I didn't understand Tafel's need to sell Street Sense or Porter's need to sell Hard Spun either... None of the parties referenced 'need' the money... I guess my sensibilities are just akilter.
