Why? They flipped a horse and got $250K difference. When horses are selling for a profit I ignore my crystal ball.

IEAH isn't in the game to flip horses. they need horses like union rags for their deal they have going to promote the brand. we woudl have had a half of a year full of Ivorone's mug in our TV screen if they keep union rags

IEAH is very much in the game to flip horses as well as breed to sell. They haven't had a home run yet.. However they sold Stardom Bound to the Japanese IF to Big Brown at a score..

However they owe people (at the time) major money so it was spent by the time the check cleared.

They consign horses with sales consignors as sold for "Agent" not so much IEAH stables.. or else people would call the sale agents and place liens..

They're in the game to make money. That's how it's done.
