Other than it being IEAH that is the interested buyer...what is the big deal...why the rolling of the eyes...
The current owner wants to lock in a profit... is that such a bad thing??

I don't care if he makes a $5 profit or a $50 mil profit, that's not the point. I just get annoyed that every time a horse shows he might have talent (might being the operative word), from a sharp maiden performance to a nice prep score, IEAH or Godolphin has to buy them. At the rate they're going, they might as well offer the two groups a co-sponsorship deal for the Derby and give them each 10 slots to run horses in.

i agree...as soon as IEAH got the taste of fame w/ the 3YO's last year in big brown its like he refuses to go to the prom empty handed EVER again. Good for the owners, i hope they overcharge the hell out of IEAH, just for the right to retain a 25% share in a horse, hope the current owners like the lime light, b/c there will no shortage of it wants ivarone and the boys get the camera on him
