Too bad really because it was a fun story there for a little while.

Hutt and partners interviewed Ice, and stated this relationship was destine. Now they had communication difficulty, and decided to move to KM. To state they were looking for a trainer who has experience in triple crown races is a stupid statement, considering Ice trained 3 YR Old male horse of the year. I assume there is more to the story, such as Birds move.

I'm not sure why this still isn't a "fun story".
It's not like they sold him to Darley or IEAH.

They're just using McLaughlin as a trainer because their other trainer passed away. Kirian's not a bad guy. If you liked the horse before, no reason to stop liking him now.

Does Ice interview poorly or something? Seems to have some bad luck.

He clearly has an issue with communicating with his owners. An operation like Fantasy Lane, with a lot of novice owners in the game for fun, probably need to be handled differently than the deeper pocketed types that just let the trainer do his job.... Probably didn't return VM's for a few of days and that's that.

A couple of weeks/months on the elixir and this guy will be doing all sorts of novel things.
