Default UPDATE: Dee Tee Ready to Go!

Having gotten home to (frigid) New York, I've been able to catch up on the Partnership commitments and it looks like we're about ready to go shopping for a runner!

Interestingly, we have exactly what our initial estimate was in terms of partners and investment dollars... 40 partners... $25,000... (once last few committments are received). Though we had revised our estimate upwards in terms of the money target based on early verbal and posted responses, we can cap this first share offering as it is now and get started. That will essentially double everyone's ownership percentage from 1% to 2%, if you put in $500. ($1,000 = 4%, etc..).

Chuck has been looking for horses in this price range ($20,000), so the budget works fine... If anyone has interest that hasn't yet done so, please get your Agreement letter back to me in the next two weeks (Let's set February 19 as a cutoff)... In the meantime, 'Cannon Shell' is on the lookout for Dee Tee Stables' first horse!

Thanks to everyone for the great response... I can't really believe we're pulling this off!!!

Steve

Cool, I'm psyched. Is Chuck looking for an older reliable claimer or a younger horse he sees some potential in?

Open to anything that looks solid and with some upside..

There's a racing age/mixed sale coming that might have something.. claimers to peruse at GP, FG, AQU or TP.. private purchase options.. even a filly or mare that could be turned around at the end of the year or in early '08 and sold as a broodmare prospect..

Look forward to hearing from Chuck here later today..

Please keep us "outsiders" informed. I will be your biggest fan. If the partnership expands to Tx LAD or rem count me in. Im still considering any future offerings even if it would make this old man get of his dead arse and go somewhere. GOOD LUCK

Jpop,

Appreciate the support... I know there's a DT-Fair Grounds Trip being planned.. You should make arrangements to be there! Check out the "Get Togethers" Room "downstairs". I think it's a thread..

This is very exciting news. Certainly the closest to ownership I will ever get. Thanks, Steve and Chuck, for putting this together. It will be a fun ride.

Steve --

Will we get a list of members/owners? Just to make sure you got my check -- I'm a bit on the paranoid side.
