breeders, bloodstock, connections of horses that were purchased with a whole lot more money at the big sales did the pre subscibed charting of the races too have enough graded money. flying the horses in ,hotels,sky boxes,
partys ect. to get beat soundly by a horse that was purchased for less than the bar tab at the jordan suite. came in town in a one horse trailer,with a jock
who had not seen the horse til monday the week of the race. though i love it for the little guy to pull off such a great feat. i fear that as a whole some of the big owners and midlevel guys would say why bother..in the end i think it
hurts everyone..my 2 c..hooves
