more owners for curlin

[Riot]

I wonder if Mrs. Cunningham will have to sell the owners Breeder's Cup trophy copy she gets? Ebay?

This sucks. So much for any chance of getting to see him run next year.

This makes me like Curlin so much more. I just could not bring myself to like a horse a lot if one of his owners was a crook. This is great news for the 418 people. I would say Curlin is worth at least 30 million dollars.

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.

One of the owners of likely Horse of the Year Curlin claims the recent order handed down by a Kentucky judge only affects the minority interest of embattled attorneys William Gallion and Shirley Cunningham Jr.

An attorney representing Jess Jackson's Stonestreet Stables issued a statement Nov. 2 clarifying the position of the owner-partner.

"The order ... entered by Judge (William) Wehr in Boone County circuit court applies only to the 20% interest in Curlin owed by Mr. Gallion and Mr. Cunningham through Tandy LLC. That entity has done business using the name Midnight Cry Stables," Lexington-based attorney Richard Getty said. "The order has absolutely has no effect in the other ownership interests in Curlin, none of which have been sold."

Getty declined to comment further, other than to say: "We are evaluating the overall situation."

Talked to my cousin's wife today (she works at the jail), said if they weren't such scoundrels she would almost feel sorry for these old guys. Apparently there is another old guy in cahoots with them that can barely get around.
I guess even the rich like to be richer....
