In Jacksons case absolutely. The IEAH guys are trying to "promote" their investment in him. They took a large gamble when they decided to keep the majority of the horse as a stallion. They have lost a lot of "value" with his vunerability as he is not the "superhorse" they would have led you to believe. Not to mention they are still selling shares of IEAH and perhapps believe that any publicity is good publicity

Do you know how much a share costs? And what is your opinion on these so called racing groups like Little Red Feather and IEAH?

I dont know the particulars but it is a pretty sizable amount. I think in general partnerships are a positive but they can stray out of bounds in many cases. I really dont know enough about either of these groups in particular but it seems from the investors i have spoke to who have been involved with numerous partnerships their reactions range from a really good experience to outright theivery.
