An insanely dumb sale for a few $$$ - greed is a terrible thing, enter Karma.
I see AP has drawn post 1 and only 1 winner since 1960 Tabasco Cat in 1994 won from post 1.
Dortmund 2 and Mr Z 3 - carnage at the break and run to the turn with firing line drawn 8.
Hi Dub,
Not as strange as it seems. Lukas isn't in the habit of being told what to do concerning his horses. He wanted to run in the Preakness with this horse so he had one of his other owners buy this horse. It probably signals the end of the relationship with Zayat....but the sale also makes for a smooth transition. The owner didn't need the money, but he wasn't going to run Mr. Z back in the Preakness. So Lukas called an audible with the sale and Zayat gave Lukas his druthers, without going against his principles. Both Zayat and Lukas are happy now:>) TJ
