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.

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.

Didn't the doctors who dumped Ice cite "communication" problems as the reason or something like that? I understand there were some other personal issues, too.

Tim Ice
Steve,
What's the deal with this guy? He seemed like a good young trainer that we, as fans, could all get behind and now these stories come up.

Tim Ice probably has his hands full with John Ed Anthony, who can supply him with quality horses annually if Ice can stay in his good graces.

In New York, the day rate probably ranges from about $80 to $125. At a track like Finger Lakes, the day rate is about $50.

Thanks, Steve that helps.
I guess Hutt offered some "performance based" incentive to McLaughlin in addition to the normal 10%, in lieu of a day rate, and he can afford to take a shot with that on one horse whereas Ice can't, given the still start up nature of his operation.
