i know you didnt mention any owners by name. the initial question was about stay put (or a similar horse). i thought it was a good question. but aside from being seen on derby day it doesnt make much sense to run in that allowance race over a 200k stake that is about the same quality wise.

since the original question was about stay put, i used his owners. they have been involved for a long time and campaigned enough stakes horses that i dont think the being seen thing was their motivation.

maybe they were looking for a confidence builder. didnt want to ship. something else. i dont think the point was to be seen. who were they looking to be seen by?
