Ernie-- I tried to stay out of this, despite you doing your nonsense on my site, but you just won\'t let me. And you are such an easy target.
1-- Who did I run out of the business? What 2,500 claimers?
2-- Mike Sedlececk has trained exactly 3 Graph Racing horses, other than that I haven\'t been involved with any horses he has trained in over a decade.
3-- You never posted here-- except for all those JKev posts last week praising what turned out to be yourself? Or was someone else who can\'t spell, using the same e-mail address?
4-- Last year, when you were having your fire sale, a bloodstock agent gave me the list of the 50 or so horses you were trying to get rid of. There were about 5 on the list worth even considering, independent of price. Now, it costs about 4k a month, all in, to keep a horse in training in NY, but a lot of those were hurt and on the farm, so let\'s be generous and say it averaged 2k. That\'s 100k a month in training, vet and van bills-- that\'s $1.2 million a year, before counting the cost of buying/breeding/raising 50 thoroughbreds (a couple of million). As Ed Koch would say, how you doin\'?
5-- Haven\'t got much time for this, because I\'m heading for Dubai tonight with Super Frolic in the World Cup. Will I see you there?
I\'m only involved with about 15 horses right now. Aside from the ones we just bought that haven\'t run for our guys yet, about half have won or placed in stakes, and most of the 15 will make their next start in stakes.
