Umm, Violette doesn't train for free either and he hasn't had anything close to Subordination for the money.

IMO, they are all pikers compared to Ward/Oxley who wrote the book on how to win a "one other than" with an $800k purchase.

Not to take a side in the argument, as I don't have one, but what about Read the Footnotes?

You could probably call it a wash between "Footnotes" and Subordination, but I think Klarman had a lot better, for a lack of a better phrase, second tier horses like Currency Arbitrage, Antitrust and Illiquidity with Sciaccca for a lot less money than he has spent with Violette.

Read the Footnotes and Sharp Humor were two of the better NYB's that could have been special if they didn't get hurt. I liked them both quite a bit.
