Worst 6K ever spent?

The Indomitable DrugS · #1 04-03-2011, 12:28 AM

Believe it or not - the owner just spent 6k to make this horse a late triple crown series supplamented nom....

A supposed 500K yearling - who is still owned by his breeder.

Why not just light 120 fifty-dollar bills on fire to see what color the flame makes?

Still hope.

The Indomitable DrugS · #3 04-03-2011, 12:40 AM

I google'd the owner/breeder ... his wife divorced him and got a $123.6 million settlement.

What a weird friggen horse. Who breeds to the sire Encosta De Lago (huh?) - and buys the horse from themselves for 500K as a yearling - only to nominate them late to the triple crown series off of a 4.5 furlong win at Mountaineer Park?

Probably trying to impress his woman by taking her to the Derby. Usually stupid decisions like this one are made because of some trim.

Perhaps - but he'll need Graded Earnings to get into the Derby field.

Preakness Fever?

Watch the horse show up on the undercard. That should get him at least a couple motorboats.

Fipke got to the KD once before with Tagg trained Tale of Ekati who finished 4th....so I think you are right...the lust to be there overcomes all else....this horse is nowhere as good as TOE.

You do know that Encosta De Lago is one of the most expensive stallions in the world, right?

OTM Al · #10 04-03-2011, 07:46 AM

That's a breeding you would see commonly in England or Ireland.

No - I figured he just had a mare imported all the way from Australia who was like the Montbrook of Aussie sires.

The names of his horses couldn't have tipped you off as to who he is?

Habersham000 · #13 04-03-2011, 08:24 AM

He is supposed to run in the Illinois Derby

He would get beat 8-to-15 lengths in an alw race at Parx.

I thought the owner/breeder might have taken him back once Baffert was no longer the trainer, but Fipke owned him from start #1.

You like his chances?

Is he supposed to be a rabbit for some other horse?

What am I missing here?

outofthebox · #19 04-03-2011, 03:09 PM

I remember when this owner broke into the game by buying a 2million 2yo at the Barrets sale a couple of years ago with Baffert. Cant recall his name, but ran about 6 races in 3 years. He's definately has deep pockets///
