The word is out that Luther’s $1.8 mil investment isn’t going to be as profitable as he stated in his video! The horse didn’t pass fertility testing and Luther has to return everyone’s money who had purchased shares. Now one would think that you wouldn’t sell shares until his fertility is confirmed, which would best be done after his racing career is done. He just never seems to learn.
-
If true I mentioned this before nobody would invest without a fertility test. You can’t get an accurate one until after 60 days of racing. Luther gets the dumb guy of the year award.

YES FOUND OUT YESTERDAY
EMAILS AND TEXT WERE SENT OUT TO SHARHOLDERS
REFUNDS COMING ..
THERE WAS A REASON THEY WOOD NOT LET HORSE GET TESTED IF HE WAS SUITABLE FOR BREEDING .
THINK PREVIOUS OWNERS KNEW ? I BETCHA THEY DID ..
LUTHER BROTHERS ARE GOOD PEOPLE ,,GOOD FOR RACING ..
TERRIBLE THIS IS THE RESULT..
FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD ,,LIMITED STALION DUITES A YR COULD BE UP TO 30 TO 40 PROBALY A LOT LESS MAYBE IN HIGH TEENS LOW 20'S A YR,,,
PREV OWNERS CLEANED UP,,, BUT LEFT A BAD TASTE IN THE MOUTHS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS IN UP COMIN YRS
SHOULD HANOVER DEMAND SUITABLE FOR STALLION DUTIES FROM NOW ON ? JUST ASKING
-
Previous owners never tested. Why would they? He’s not a commercially viable stallion. DC has an out if Karl doesn’t pass fertility. So did Hanover with Sig Sauer who has already passed. No major farm would buy a stallion without one.
-
The breeders already had suspicisions that this horse was going t have fertility issues because he had very small testicles. Its a tell tale sign in stallions when it comes to semen production and fertility. It was very obvious and I guarantee any breeding farm would have looked when he was at Harrisburg before they made any offers or deals.
-
I have never heard 60 days of no racing for fertility testing? I always thought soon to be studs were fertility tested during GC meet at Lexington so they new early on how to promote and advertise?
-
They never test while racing Karl, TCI, Winner’s Bet and Captain Albano haven’t been tested yet. Anyone that has bought a share in them already if they fail money will be refunded. The farm also has an out on them if they fail also. As far as Amazing Catch he won only three of eighteen starts not sure if anyone other than Luther was breeding to him anyway which he can probably still do.
-
Sounds like nobody ever heard of first-year/initial-year infertility coverage. LOL.
-
I thought something was suspicious when I inquired, and he refused to send a contract or memorandum of understanding. Just send the money. He told everyone that the horse was tested and good to go. Glad I walked away.

How did Marvin and Al have such a bad falling out? What's behind all this???

buyer beware

I don't know the reason but this has been coming for a few years. I noticed that Al seemed to go off on his own and when Marvin ended up with Brittany with no Al the writing was on the wall.

I though so to....I remember during the GC meet at Lex it was always an opportune time to test the semen of some of the local studs.

Exactly I specifically remember chatter in the 90's at the sales that so and so test bred and he's good to breed 400 mares or he can't get anything in foal. This whole 60 days after racing to get test levels higher is BS. Intense training increases testosterone levels in the athletes. What people are saying is "Let him have 60 days off to get fat and happy and his test levels will go to the moon?" LOL Someone missed science class on the day they taught hormones.

Grandpa always said you had to give them time to get all the crap out of their system that they had been pumped with to race

This guy Luther is living proof that money doesn’t come with instructions. He is the dumbest guy in racing no doubt. A complete laughing stock. If he didn’t have deep pockets from other things he would never be heard of. Idiot.
-
You are 100% correct! He always wants to act like a big shot but makes poor decisions and looks like a total idiot. Just like buying a Catch the Fire yearling by jumping the bid up $100k higher just to say he had the highest priced yearling at the sale and by his stallion. No one was
Even bidding against him!! And the colt never amounted to anything!!
The list of his dumb moves goes on and on! Hard to imagine his cash flow will last forever at the rate he’s shelling out the cash.

And his brother would be cleaning stalls! tmbz1

This business venture won’t last forever
-
Seems to have unlimited funds. Is there a breaking point?
-
Will Amazing Catch go down as a top 5 worst purchase in harness racing history? Or is it too early to say? Doesn’t look great so far.
-
Gotta ask: How many pages back did you go to dig that beauty out? ;D I'm guessing page 40.
Not saying it's a bad topic, just knew that it had to come from the archives. Please let me know the answer.
Love guessing on shit like that, but not hungry enough to sift thru all that myself to find it. ;D

Horse trots in 151 in it’s 2nd start this year, so maybe too early to say.

Loves the game
But this was not a great purchase
-
this was just a bad purchase. A good horse but not a great horse last year. Luther thought he was buying Sig Sauer but the horse is chasing Elista Hanovers blond tail at this point.
-
He's the type of guy that should be setting up and funding aftercare facilities instead of breeding for fun. That's the only way he widely respected IMO tmbz1
-
Why do you jerks worry about how some one spends their money I am sure he not worried.
-
Luther is fed up with Ake. Trainer change in the future is definitely on the table.
-
Ake got his money. Need to move the horse to Noel Daley. He is on fire

If the horse was worth a fuck Ake would have bought in. Horse wouldn’t beat open horses at Hoosier or scioto. Easy to blame others for bad decisions
