That is not the case here. And that is the difference. Ray is a blogger now, and can report rumor and what he is told informally, and when he was Editor-in-Chief of TBH he would not have reported this story until it was confirmed by the parties involved. Ask him. Panty, the news orgs then asked the Obama transition team to confirm those rumors…and they did. That is not the case here. And that is the difference.

For that level, his fee is very cheap. Another example of those that have, helping those that have. This may be the right spot to comment on the subject of stud fees. Stallion managers are making a big-deal of reducing fees for 2009 as a means to help mareowners in the current crisis. A lot of baloney. Fees are down on horses likely to have lower bookings because mares bred in 2009 will be sharply reduced. They have not repealed the law of supply and demand !! If they have genuine desire to help mareowners in present hard times, they should offer relief on fees DUE in 2009 and consider returning some of the fees already collected this year for foals arriving in 2009. Among measures that might bring some relief are: 20% reduction in the fees contracted in 2008; knock off the outrageous late payment penalties on 2009 payments due; convert to pay from proceeds; retroactively offer conversion to foal-shares. Also, the group that made zillions from $100 + + oil can afford to conduct a lottery and retroactively waive 2009 fees due from a few mareowners. To try to limit the benefit to the "deserving poor", the lottery could be limited to fees of $30,000 or less. If there is anyone out there that thinks these modest proposals have merit, then get cracking on giving the message to stallion managers.

That is rather interesting, as Lanes End is not that far from Three Chimneys. I wonder if Big Brown will be able to smell Curlin in the wind ?? LOL ! I look forward to visiting them both next year :) Enjoy your retirement, Mighty Curlin! Congratulations to Lanes End! That is rather interesting, as Lanes End is not that far from Three Chimneys.
