Why? Because Davey Jacobson has more money than he could spend in 3 lifetimes. He likes to win races.

I can't wait until he starts claiming from trainers that only have a handful of horses like he used to.

Always good to see the really good guys get back in the game.

It's such a bad look to have his first starter in years look like this. I get he likes to win races and I'm sure the horse is fine but he could have run the horse in a 50k claimer or something similar and still been 3/5.

I am confused. Isn't Bonnie Lucas the beard? Hasn't he owned this horse since Broberg? In a sick way, isn't it a good thing that the horse will be acquired by someone for 16 and will win for much higher soon? I guess he is giving someone a good horse for a 1/3 his worth? It's almost altruistic. And if he wants the horse back he will just claim him back for 40
