Default Horse partnership

Hope this is ok to post on here, but don't know what's going on with other partnerships through here and I fell upon this one on facebook, anyone have any thoughts on this? I don't know what I should be looking at, I just know it says $250 for a .5% share.

It is a yearling named Kentuckysoldierboy and being trained by Paul McGee with an April start at Keeneland hoped.

Why would you spend $250 for that when you can spend $500 for Dee Tee, where you have instant access, MANY people to talk about the partnership and you can actually learn something.

Not saying they are not trustworthy, but what I am saying is that you aren't going to get the excitement/friends/knowledge that you get from here

nothing against bongo, but i agree with Scav. Dee Tee is right here and a much better group.

I agree 100%

I'm not going to do that one, I was more wondering what you guys thought of it since I just stumbled acrossed it.

Being a college student I'm in no situation to do either, but I definately would spend the extra $250 and do the Dee Tee one because I somewhat know the people on here and am sure it would be 110% better.

I've had only one venture into something like this, and it wasn't really worth it...much better to go with a bunch of folks you know (DEE TEE!), or save up and go in with a few friends on a claimer...I just started my own partnership and claimed my first one today (Tampa R2 - Wicked Sweet) with a couple of friends...We're all on cloud 9 - she came out of the race in great order, and think with a pedicure (she lost a shoe in the race and has another about ready to fall off!) and a few pounds on 'er she'll be ready to mow 'em down again! Great times...

His first name is Dan? That is disappointing, I always thought it was Rudeboyelvis.
