Will Willie Travel?

[SniperSB23]

And as far as "Will Wilie Travel?" I thought it was a reasonable question and was likely based on the assumption that Willie would be making and funding his own travel arrangements. If the only way he would travel is if Chuck pays for it then it doesn't make much sense.

it was a perfectly ligit question. after the last race i asked steve what Willie had to say. steve's reply "Willie loves her!" "she does anything he askes her to do."
so why shouldn't we ask if Willie is traveling to ride her.
again i don't know how that is handled, who pays for what.

my opinion on willie is this- if he knows he has a horse that can get the job done, he'll ride.
this isn't a guy that needs 8 mounts a day to get by, he can afford to be picky, imo.
i would think, that if he thinks he has a shot to knock back some nice $ on a one day trip, then it's well worth the effort for him.
and as stated before, the question would become what would it take for him to go? maybe the costs that we are seeing here, maybe a little less?
irregardless of the outcome, it's all part of this great learning experience for me as well.

FYI from what I see the second condition book at Arlington has no races remaining that fit her unless she's ready 6/20 for 1 and 1/16 for 3yr old fillies, 32.5K purse. The 2nd book runs thru 6/24 and the 3rd book , not yet out, will see added purses and possibly a good size more if any added $ is tied to the handle as we are having a bonanza year.
