People get romantically involved in these animals and although I am sure you can have a horse as a pet and that horse can bring you great pleasure, typically those aren't racehorses.. I am sure plenty of folks become attached to the horse that they ride and work with daily. I would think those horses are a lot tougher to sale and leave then a fast filly who you can bearly pet.

I'd sell him to Sheik Mo for two reasons:

1) Dutrow
2) Assmussen

Bob I really don't know. I guess it would be to IEAH only because I am guess some of the people in the partnership are OK.. I think Dutrow while a cheat is funny SOB and most likely a superior horseman.. Assuming all things equal IEAH
