Are we Buyers, Sellers, or Holders?

I just recently bought a share in Whataladywhatanite. I was staying away from Ill- breds since the racing here is so pathetic and Hawthorne is pretty much unwatchable. 

 

Ok.  Good thoughts your way with the filly.  I briefly thought of buying a share of her back in July but the points you made here kept me away.

Who do you guys think should drive Mori? 

In the video AMac was conflicted on naming a driver for the reasons that you suggested.  Knowledge of 2 year old trotter vs. world class driver.  I think that his decision to drive Mori is a good one.  Maybe if Mori gets in the final, AMac will turn the drive over to the best available driver.  We will find out more in a few hours!

4th so into the final.

I had thought about selling my share in Meghans Lucky Day, but after taking a further look at her pedigree I see that her full sister won over $550k. Hard to sell with that potential.

I would hate to sell shares in any of the other horses because I see the potential in all of them, so I am a holder.

Trouble with my I Pad.  Sorry for the clutter on previous message.  Asking Maywood Al if he has any ownership in the Illinois 2 year olds and how close he is to Hawthorne.  AMac reiterated that he is flying out to Illinois on Sunday to drive them.

I just recently bought a share in Whataladywhatanite. I was staying away from Ill- breds since the racing here is so pathetic and Hawthorne is pretty much unwatchable. There is supposed to be a casino built.  (been going on for about five years now). They did accomplish making most of the grandstand off limits. There is now just a small part of the indoor grandstand open, a small sports book and a small area open outside around the first turn. It is a mile track, so while watching outside uo can see the horses come around the first turn and then time for binoculars. If a close race you will have no idea who won.

All depends on traffic but I am about 30-45 minutes away. I think I'll pop over on Sunday, try to watch the races and then once again vow not to return.

Two years ago I purchased two Ill-bred yearlings, about a week or two after that came the revised racing schedule which decimated the harness dates. That is why I passed last year on Ill-breds. But I made an offer and someone sold. ( I should have made a lower offer, lesson learned.

 

Maybe you'll hit the jackpot with this one!
