I never told you guys this but I won 10% of Butterface (I guess I own half her right front leg). Dont let it get around, I dont want to be asked for my autograph and equine advice. And I am really trying not to let this go to my head. Really I am.

Back and legs feel WONDERFUL....so nice to live and walk pain free.

Thanks for asking.

I could only imagine. A guy at work just had back surgery. The man is 54 years old and was in so much pain. I have no idea what was wrong, something about something pressing on a nerve. But he seems to be doing much better. Good to hear you are pain free. That has to be nice.

Euro give it up. We were having a debate and you tried to play the "I'm an owner so I know about these things card". Newsflash, owning part of a claimer does not make you an all knowing authority on everything equine, as evidenced from your earlier contention that they would be afraid to run the filly lest she breakdown and in your WORDS "but she is worth nothing if she injures herself and is put down. If it is locked in, then why even take the chance. That is my point."
Now, obviously you don't know a damn thing about graded stakes horses and their values. You said if she injures herself and is put down she is worth nothing.
Obviously you mispoke.

Lord Oracle. I know about the insurance, but what she is prob insured for and what she can go for at the auction is different. She is prob insured for 1.5 to 2.5. She will go for double or more than that in an auction. Obviously you dont know anything about the open market. Oh, and being a agent of one graded horse doesnt make you the authority on everything that is equine. See Oracle, people like you take from the game and never put anything back into it. That is what we mid-west people call a leach.

Thats pretty funny. You think shes only insured for that amount? Dream on. Owners of horses like that tend to insure at the highest possible appraisal that they can get. Lans educated me a little bit about this, having owned two grade one winners himself. I found it fascinating.
Just remember when she runs in the Cup I'm gonna pull this thread and jam it in your face.
As far as not putting anything back into the game, you obviosusly don't know a thing about the game, and your ignorance shows with each passing post.
Most people who sell a horse are thrilled to sell it. Thats why they are doing it. Most people who buy one, especially privately, define a goal but lack the time or resources to attempt it themselves. Its why they outsource to people who they trust to do it. I'd think that Sandy Robbins would say I've put a tremendous amount back into his game with that purchase. Shes appraised at ten times what they paid for her and shes already won that back and given them the thrill of winning at the highest level.

Well what dont you enlighten me and tell me how much she is insured for? And I welcome the jamming. If she races then i am wrong. It is just a feeling is all.

I don't feel its my place to say that on here. Thats not anyone's business but the owners. Hoep you understand I am not copping out, but thats just how I feel.

Ora, this thread proves you need to find a horse or two for Euro and help him establish the value. Or maybe you dont deal with someone that knows it all and want admit an error.
