Mr. Hines was a multi-millionaire. I mean absolutely loaded. Owned one of the largest tool and die operations in Kentucky.

And obviously that business acumen was well heeded and inherited by his family.
When someone tosses that many zeroes in front of you for a horse whos been beating Steppenwolfer and Private Vow, you take it as fast as you can click the ballpoint pen.

Right, I agree ok? So everyone made a score here, the agent who brokered it, the family who sold, and I won't say it as a fact, but I would be willing to bet that Holthus made a SCORE!! And I mean, zeroes Pillow Pants. More than he made in 10%, and more than if he won a lotta cash the next year with him.

So the guy moved him? So what? There are no injured parties here, except the guy who bought him.

This caliber of a horse they could've at least let Holthus spend more than 10 minutes with him before he was vanned off. It's not like we're talking about a 40k claimer.

Wouldn't you want some more time if the best horse you've ever trained was about to leave?

That's really my only gripe.

If I had a choice between petting my very favorite horse for more than 10 minutes, or a half mill, I'd take the half mill. I think most people would who arent independently wealthy.

Those 10 minutes showed that someone had the back class of a $2500n2l at Los Al.

I'd take the money.
