First, guy must have some deep, deep pockets. Second, if I owned one of the other horses, game on!  It reminds me of the movie Seabiscuit where Carter challenged Riddle's blue-blood War Admiral . . . "From the grandstands to the infield, the track was jammed with fans. Trains were run from all over the country to bring fans to the race, and the estimated 40,000 at the track were joined by 40 million listening on the radio."
I like the idea and seems to me more than the money he is demonstrating, despite the Kentucky DQ, he still has a good spirit about our great sport.
I wish him well. |
Seabiscuit and War Admiral both established their form through dozens of starts.
West's horse has started, what, five times or something?
