more owners for curlin

[Riot]

Wait, there is indeed more!: from DRF today

"Angela Ford, the attorney for the plaintiffs, said that her clients wished to sell their interest in the horse, and that Curlin's other partners have also decided to sell. Curlin's victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic has made him an odds-on favorite to be voted Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old colt.

"Everyone has agreed to sell, but there's no agreement yet on whether that will be done by a private sale or at public auction," Ford said.

An attorney for Jackson, Kevin McGee, declined to comment on Friday. Officials for Padua Stable were not immediately available for comment on Friday morning.

Gallion and Cunningham bought Curlin as a yearling for $57,000 at public auction. They sold 80 percent of the horse to the other partners early this year for $3.5 million.

Ford said that the ruling will also entitle the plaintiffs to Midnight Cry's portion of Curlin's earnings. Curlin's share of the Classic purse was $2.7 million. Though it was unclear whether the Breeders' Cup had issued checks for purses by Friday, Ford said that the plaintiffs would be entitled to any assets held by Cunningham and Gallion, which would enable them to claim the earnings as their own regardless of whether the check had been distributed.
