That's nothing compared to AMAC'S purchases on ONGAIT. Take a look at Greatest Ending and Steel Cowboy. How to flush 300,000 dollars down the toilet.

That is unfair.  Horse won 5 in a row when Pollack bought him making 28K .  Then must have got hurt.

Don't buy off Pelling and Amanda Fine.  Simple rules to follow. 

You want to see someone burn up money Look At Why Not Now, Christchurch and the others Luther bought.  He doesn't even seem to care.

WHERE DID LUTHER GET ALL HIS MONEY FOR THESE HORSES? I REMEMBER HE ONLY HAD A FEW HERE AND THERE AND HE SUCKED. NOW HE BUYS ALL THESE HIGH PRICED HORSES.  SOMETHING DOESNT SEEM RIGHT.   DI HE INHERIT A BUNCH OF MONEY OR SOMETHING?

I don't know what happened to this horse. Ken is a legit guy, a good guy, and a top owner in the game. As far as ongait, a friend called me because he wanted to buy one off ongait and knew I had. I told him for me this was no different that the horse being for sale privately. Treat the transaction the same exact way. I not only had the horse vetted, but he took x-rays, scans, reproductive exam (it was a filly and there was residual value), pulled blood, etc., being that the horse was racing, I asked for my trainer or a trainer of my choosing to go a mile with the horse. The trainer I wanted to give the horse to was in FL and couldn't make it back, so I had another trainer of mine do it. If I can't do MY due diligence, then I don't buy. In the due diligence process.....you get what you do, spend, pay for, and you get what you don't. Buyer beware. Period.

He has real estate school and online school. Maybe some crypto. Think Trump without the convictions. He is not a poor man.

He owns a body shop, a widget manufacturing plant, and a Subway franchise. Just kidding. I have no idea, LOL. Just because a guy comes a long with a lot of money and operates his business in a way others don't understand or agree with, that doesn't automatically mean he's shady, LOL. Horse ownership can be a right to self-expression, LOL. From those who treat it like a business, to those who want to win big dances, to those who just want their picture taken, to those who want to feed a horse carrots, and so on and so on.....

I heard he is the top real estate coach in the US and has 1000's of people that follow him and pay him.  I see his Youtube and IG adds daily.  The guy was a groom back in the day too.

Did he ever drive?  Qualifiers, fair races, pari-mutuel races?

Greg makes more in a day than most here make in a year combined. He could have bought a $10 million yacht but instead decided to go with horses. He found a way to be successful and make a shit ton of money. Who cares how he spends it
