From the outside looking in ....
on the I’m Fancy Like ownership situation. Maybe one of you with current shares are in the know? Maybe TheStable has a holding account that can buy up the shares from unlicensed owners? Again, this can lead to management and client costs.Quote from Bgtolex25 on September 2, 2024, 11:11 AMI would support some modest price increases if it would lead to some sharpening of some of the share management and communications that we have seen discussed on the forum.
- new horse offerings and how communicated
- scalping of above, there have been several worthy considerations discussed
- handling impactful jurisdictional moves on short notice.

- keeping the website updated, especially on the horse listing site. It is a very good site, just some minor dated items on horses can be addressed. Has anyone had success or use TheStable’s Message Board other than one way notifications on a specific horse?
- love AMac’s videos, but life events make it an up and down ride on ability to follow. I’m retired, so I can’t imagine those with a much busier schedule. Can there be a better secondary option, such as message board notifications when your horse(s) discussed in the videos? Not talking about the weekly videos, because those videos talk in alphabetical order by horse. Easy to skip to your horse. But it is also easy to miss some midweek updates, such as when Freedom Hill tied up at Scioto a few weeks back. One of the owners posted that they were unaware of the outcome of the bloodwork.
Anyway, these items and more would require staff to administer; hence, a price increase would be reasonable.- good luck to everyone this week. Getting interesting in the 2&3 year old stake season!
Points well taken.
Their message board, isn't a message board per se. It's one-way communication. When I built this forum I had in mind that it could be incorporated into TheStable.ca to make it an effective two-way communication forum. But, I can understand if they don't want to do it. It would have to be heavily moderated. And that's a job for more than one person. It would take a few volunteers and ground rules.
I always though that the communication (i.e. when horses are entered) from them should be enhanced with messages drawn from the video of how your horse is doing. Though it's in the video, and in alphabetical order as you said, so that would be overkill. If people don't want to watch the videos that their issue.

When we owned Blanton's Blue we had an issue when he first came east to race in the Excelsior Series. We couldn't get New York licensed in time, so we had an agreement that we would transfer ownership to theStable.ca and after the race ownership would transfer back to us. Any purse money would, I'm sure, have been retained by TheStable. It was a moot point because Blanton's Blue finished in 8th that race, and we had secured a license shortly thereafter.
