Lawyer Ron Goes to Pletcher..

Yes and he's acting like a real ******* by firing Mr. Hines' daughter and taking control of the family business in an estate battle that could take years to settle.

I heard LR was sold for $6 million.

if so, at this point they effed up...they'd have to book 100 mares at 15k a pop for the next four years to break even on the purchase price. lot of horses retire every year. he's going to be a harder sell than plenty of others at this point.
yeah, stonewall gambled. all farms do. some are better able to withstand a mistaken gamble than others...

if anyone knows how this game is played, it's bob holthus. i think he felt this coming since the moment strong contender passed ron in the stretch.

as for pletcher....one day he'll be like dwl--he'll generate the same hate and venom as lukas did. the ones who go to the top, all alone, and then stay there always do. some will respect him, some will learn from him, some will continue to enjoy watching a master at his work...and the rest will spew at him at every opportunity. it's human nature.
