You're right, but I was hoping because I don't like Dutrow. OH well - I think he'll do a good job with SB.

I'm curious, with Moreno already owning 70% of Better than Honour, and her going to 14 million, does he have to pay the whole 14 million, and then get a check back for 9.8 million or does he only have to pay 4.2 million for the other 30%?

Dutrow makes it possible to buy mediocrity and still be successful, not that Stardom Bound is mediocre. However, he has moved up a lot of junk that IEAH paid a premium for. I do not think there is another trainer in the country that can tie one together or move one up like Dutrow

Terranova's horses always look very nice, and from all accounts hes a good caretaker and a nice guy. That being said hes not the guy you send a 5.7 million dollar horse to, at least not when you have Dutrow sitting shotgun.
