you sound like the type of guy who’d write to Starbucks and tell them they’d be more successful if they used a different kind of coffee beans
you can live in lala land and make up scenarios but the scenario thatstarted this thread is real..chance to get his owners 11...instead gets them 6...across the board not protecting his investors
me in lala land? you started a thread claiming he robs his owners, implying he benefited financially from the horse selling for less at auction than a private sale which is insane, especially if he owned a piece of it. it’s an open and shut case of sour grapes. he thought it would sell for more at public auction and it didn’t. you could have went and bought it (for cheaper than your original offer) and didn’t probably did you a favour since you’re still chewing on the last one
First off in this business no one in their right mind would invest so much in a industry that forever has a bad ROI. Most people Do it for many reasons one being they have capital to do so. But as time goes by even people with money their brain takes over and realizes throwing good money at bad isn't a business plan. Once the entertainment value goes away so does the passion of wasting money.Here is my point and I see Swandre after seeing numbers in print didn't want to elaborate on those? You can't go on record with videos to clients who have a actually grip on the horses through the season and say I have thick skin and can take all the criticism....then shoot back and say this is the stable best season. Say what? Look at the numbers and yes still some racing and bills to go. But it's a poor blanket statement he throws out there without knowing the numbers. At this point he isn't a SALESMAN but the CEO. If Tim Cook put out false claims before a quarterly report and the numbers don't back up those claims the stock gets crushed. Same thing here. He is the CEO on record with hundreds of clients/shareholders in horses....putting out false info. Just look at the numbers? He also mentioned that 20% of the clients are having a good year and 80% aren't. Based on those numbers how does he get to 20%. Out of the 75 babies he started with I see 2 that are having a GOOD year. I'll let u do the math that 2 in 75...Not so good and nowhere near 20%.I don't have issue with the stable and think it's a good thing and also lets clients see the horses train down. More big trainers should do the same. With that said you can't come out go on record propping up your numbers when it's easy to see the numbers and get called out. At this point like most of racing under any trainer and will volume. It becomes the ponzi scheme of keeping it going. Do you think the stable will slow it down and buy smart and purchase only 25? No full steam ahead. Just remember those 55 will be turned out and started up 6 months before racing already at a loss before a chance to earn money again. The new babies on track for 9 months before a chance to earn money. This business only takes 2 or 3 years of mediocre to go up in flames.
Because thats too many horses...Im at 20 and its working well
as an owner of 20 horses why do you care what others do?are you a crusader??..The same crusader who was lauding the stable about a year ago..So Anthony didn't sell you the horse thinking he could get more at the sale..Happens all the time..horses go for more go for less...So he rolled the dice & cost the 25 owners what $150 each...There are worse shaftings that go on in this business on a daily scale..My thing to you is just move along..You seem to be doing well...so enjoy it..The rest of us are big boys & girls & can spend our daddys money as we please..
