ask ANYONE in the business. you are always getting a good deal if someone offers you a boatload of $ for a horse and you take it. odds are so stacked against having a top horse, and then the odds that the horse remains sound, stays in top form...then there's making a stallion out of him later. take the $ and run, go buy more!! lawyer did right by the family in this case. and he makes a bit in the process. doesn't the executor get paid by the estate--10% i believe.
how often do people get offers and turn it down, only to see their dreams melt down...
there are a hell of a lot less seattle slews than everyone thinks! russell reineman played the game and won, the guys who owned she's a devil due--not so good.
