Rand,

It would mean a profit of course.. But for starters, Chuck and a partner had interest in keeping her as a broodmare after her racing days were over. That was a part of her appeal as a purchase to begin with... Given her pedigree, she was always going to be a prospect in the shed, so if she were hurt, etc., she still had residual value to return much of the initial investment to the partnership. But more importantly, there is still her upside to explore on track. There are lots of great spots to run a route-going dirt filly, and we're going to stay that course. As Haskin said, "The group is going to have fun with her."
