A bit off topic, but Texas Pioneer, (9, half sibling of Danthebluegrassman,103 Starts: 8 - 13 - 19, $170,439) is available from his owner/trainer.

I just spoke with the trainer of TexasPioneer and he is looking for a home for this old guy as he is retiring him... He has been good to a lot of people and his heart is not in racing anymore...
last raced 5/31 PEN Chart

PM me if interested in contact info

I'm not suggesting that Pompa has to do anything more than maybe KNOW where his horse got to. I am more than sure he would be concerned.

This lady took a lot of heat but amazingly she did donate half of what she sold him for to charity. Sometimes things just dont make sense.

Do you happen to know who she sold him to, and how much he was sold for?

Hes worth about 5k, maybe not that much.

He cant work here in the United States unless someone was going to support him, she cannot

Come on, guys. Watchmon's pedigree isn't all that bad. Sire has a Derby winner and a champion filly on his CV. Dam a SW by Notebook, a respected regional sire, from a family with plenty of blacktype. In a regional market like New York, he'd fit in quite well. His physical attributes (or lack thereof) would be the decider.

Now a horse like Lava Man would be a hard sell as a sire prospect anywhere - his sire's okay, but his damline is dead for generations back. Good thing he's a gelding.

Cornell needs to review what they do as well. They just had one loon employee with a cozy job there try to get rich quick off one of THEIR horses, Watchmon. A lot more responsibility from those cushy Cornell folks is needed.

Where is Watchmon now ?
