Maria Borell fired!!

[Agastache]

Something to consider:

Borell disputes McIngvale\'s claims that she was a private trainer on salary only. But, if this was the case, she should have been billing the owner monthly including the 10% of purse money from Runhappy\'s very first race.  If she was not billing the owner monthly from the start and was being paid a straight salary, I\'m not sue how a judge can rule in her favor.

But, I would not really want to leave this in a judge\'s hands if I were on either side.

If there was no written contract/agreement, would think there is strong industry precedent to support Maria\'s claim of 10%

One interesting fact is that after the King\'s Bishop win, her twitter account was being blown up.  As I recall there was a tweet she sent out in reply to someone stating something to the effect that Yes, I just received a raise!!  And then there was a mention in a bloodhorse article of a $10k check after the King\'s Bishop that she did not cash.  

Point being there was no clear agreement by the parties which is why we are handicapping the outcome of a financial dispute between trainer and owner. I anticipate a settlement with Borell receiving far less than the 100k+ she seeks and with the public never knowing the actual amount.
