I am stunned, yet not surprised at all.

(My statement makes no sense, yet is perfectly logical.)

"Lanzman said he was looking to sell 50 percent of the colt, giving him a chance to make a profit, while still retaining his dream of running a leading contender in the Kentucky Derby.
"He's worth so much money now, it would be foolish not to take something off the table," said Lanzman, who owns a mortgage business in Los Angeles."



Being left handed I realize that I think differently than many but....
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??

The bad thing is he's in the mortgage business in Los Angeles. I think IEAH is a perfect union for the guy.

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 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.

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