The whole story will be out and about relatively shortly. Whether it is on the record or not.

From what I can gather he's just a stand-up kind of guy that wasn't comfortable letting others feel that they were duped.
Not the kind of story you hear of very often. I also like the suggestion that he buy back losing tickets from bettors who after the race had second thoughts about what they had purchased.

Look, if you're in this business to sell horses, you want people to do well, as then they will be repeat customers. However, horse racing is nothing if not a " buyer beware " game, and that goes for horse buyers and bettors alike.
As I said before, the original owner must be a terrific guy, but I just can't help but feel there is at least a LITTLE more to this story. Perhaps they had an out if he ran poorly with the understanding that they were also paying a far greater sum if he won impressively. For example, say they paid $500K for 50%, I have no idea what was paid, but would have given them $1 million if he ran a Beyer figure of over 105. I doubt this is close to the deal but I am just making an example.

He's a retired plumbing contractor.
He bred the horse and has already bought it back once. Amusing story (half-way down the page): http://www.nybreds.com/frames/FS_nybreds_news.html
