New Stable.ca Horse: Raging Hanover

In tonight's late night video, Anthony announced the purchase of a three-year-old trotting gelding out of Walner. He was a $260,000 yearling purchase who's been in Megan Scran's barn. 

Both Megan and Scotty speak highly of the horse. Two lifetime wins, his last two races at The Meadowlands, and just over $11,000 earned.

He will race next for TheStable.ca Yonkers Raceway, which made this member of the New York Connection very intrigued and excited. 

He goes on the public sale board tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM. 

If I get the blessing of our group, we will grab him if the price is right.  I have a feeling it's a low price. 

Time will tell. Well, it will tell in nine hours and 22 minutes. 

I still have a couple of hours to decide if I want in. While price will be a factor I also already have two horses with another barn that already race at Yonkers and to be honest I rarely watch them race. They both make money and the purses are nice, but for some reason it's just hard for me to get excited about watching races from there.

Shares sold out ($487 CAD) in less than a minute.  Thankfully, we got one of those shares.

Next start at Yonkers.  Be there!

You almost need to have a proxy bid for you, it’s crazy how fast they were gone..

I think we have said it before, but maybe they should put a maximum amount of shares (5?) anyone can purchase for the first 24 hours.  This may allow for broader participation.

I think we've also said purchases should be locked for a period of time, so they can't be listed in the private market 10 minutes after they're purchased.

Agreed 💯 I wouldn't mind seeing a 30-day hold requirement before shares can be listed.

We have chewed on this topic a few times now.  I suspect that TheStable is fine with how it is playing out as long as enough people are willing to grab the “IPO” and not get too crazy immediately trying to sell on the private side.

These few shares being flipped probably isn’t too significant, but there would be some serious explaining to do if large chunks appeared on the private market in the  immediate aftermath of the initial offering.   IPOs generally have a lock up period for big investors and company insiders.

The old regulatory vs. deregulation debate, and the beauty of the google search.

I agree on limiting the amount of shares you can buy especially if you know a horse is going to sell out in minutes. I disagree on being able to sell them immediately. Just adopt the Nancy Reagan mantra. " Just say no " 🙂

Just a thought. Maybe The Stable should look at an auction system for initial offerings. Two or three day auction period then if any unsold shares list for sale as they currently do. I'm no IT guy but it seems there should be software out there that can do it.
