the major concern though with ieah is that they are trying to make the sport profitable and it isn't that easy. you wonder where they will cut corners and what they will be willing to do to turn a profit for their owners if they hit a tough patch, which they will.
If you are an owner or trainer and don't reach for the phone if you see Sheik Mo or IEAH in the Caller ID, then you are a better man than most
