Chrome to England

[Scav]

Its absolutely disgusting how they handled this also. Lets take Art all the way to Dubai and then get sold by Euro interests on why they should run at Royal Ascot and then blindside the hell out of him.

Sometime people just don't know how hard this game is or what they have, and its just too bad for the horse.

For Art, its like a family member just kicked over from a heart attack on vacation, and people are not talking enough about the horse. Horses are generally routine based, and now he is going to the middle of Europe where they do things COMPLETELY different how things are done here. Horse isn't gonna know what planet he is on.

The thing I find interesting is that this isn't Colburn but this other nitwit Martin, whom is supposedly majority owner, yet during the hoopla if I recall correctly, he didn't want the spotlight at all.

Its just all around sad from all aspects, that someone with the golden ticket turns it into a paperbag.

(I'll be honest and say I'm a little disappointed for selfish reasons because once he gets drilled at Royal Ascot, it will mean that when these idiots insist that he goes to the Arlington Million, he will be 20/1 in the Million, instead of 3/1)

No active Kentucky Derby winner running in America is ever 20/1, whether Chrome or any Derby horse in recent times.

Anyways, I'm fine with the decision. No one cared when Verrazano or Animal Kingdom tried.

They didn't have the fan base this horse has. No one cared where they went really.

When he gets drilled in Ascot, and comes to the Million, he will be 15/1 or greater, or at least should be.

Supposedly that is the plan so we will see.

Dragging Art to Dubai gave him a real shot at 600k and a world class good time and also exposed him to the international community. So he only made 200k for his part in training the horse and got a to train the favorite in the worlds richest race. Look its sucks and I get it and would never do it but its a business and Sherman has made a lot of money for his services (600+k)
