Unrelated. They were in discussion with Lanzman before the Louisiana Derby.

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.

Maybe DT needs a thread on all the big time Owners that should be banned from the game....

I guess it would have to include..
Jackson
IEAH
Godolfin
Ramsey
Pompa
...
...

I don't think they should be banned. I'd prefer a monthly waterboarding live on ESPN.

i think it's like the yankees and their big budget. most teams have to work to get to the top, but some just want to buy their way there. there's nothing inherently wrong about it, but it's less than enjoyable for many.

no one is saying don't sell, don't buy. but ieah is not viewed in a great light, so i'm not surprised anyone would be unhappy that they're purchasing another prospect.

If it doesn't work out for them, they can always ask the Government for bail out money, can't they???

Oh I'm sure, I was being facetious. Today is the era of buying your way into the Derby.

Some similarities. I don't think people really felt like this was the Prince and Baffert who brought the colt along to that point and definitely grumbled that they bought themselves a prospect/winner but the thing is, War Emblem was not the hottest prospect on 4 hooves at the time. He was still a 21-1 longshot. They bought themselves a Derby horse but not anything that was going to be 9-1 or better.

you missed my whole point....what's the big deal if IEAH or anyone else wants to buy an interest in a horse when the current owner clearly wants to sell a part of him
