If you didn't see the race, or listen to the bitter end, Militant was claimed this evening.

To those Partners who owned Militant shares (I'm not one), how do you feel about it?

Bittersweet. It was nice to watch his development this year and it was a good ride the last few months. Had hopes of him being an Open Trotter next year and that is probably what the new owners are forecasting. I was surprised he was claimed and not unhappy with the price though. I know that Six Pack is far from a trendy sire but I do think his offspring will improve with age with Militant as an example. Thanks to Anthony, Jason, Lauren and his care team. Good Luck to his new owners. Planning on using a portion of the proceeds for the Lexington Buckets.

That's a very positive outlook!  Parlay that money into more horses, and more money!  Good luck!!

Militant was absolutely horrific in his first start for his new connections.  Don't feel bad about the claim now!

25 starts $57k, you can make more with a beggars cup in the street in all that time.  Better when they can't run, just keep them as pets and take care of them and move on.
