Title: STATUS OF THE FUNTIME BAYAMA BIG MONEY PURCHASE CAUGHT WITH EPOPGEN
Post by: Locked in with pace on February 09, 2025, 07:39:45 AM
Haven/t heard anything. $750,000 purchase. Was the horse returned and the money given back? Any lawsuits?

Well maybe retired. But he has filed an appeal with the Horse Racing Appeal Panel.

Syl thrived driving loaded Moreau horses for many years. Good riddance to both of them.

Zero. How much would you pay for him? The horse completely imploded in that race. Nobody knows how the horse came out of that race, his condition moving forward, etc. Off that last race you might have to be concerned that he'd never race again. Them keeping the horse might have been the path of least resistance to get back something. That as opposed to litigation to void the sale. What do you pay for the horse, 50k? 100? Complete gamble.

That guy has the cash to eat the horse if they can't get him back to racing. He came off suspension on 12/24/24. I would hope by now they would have an idea what the horse is they've had him for 6 months

I think we all would be sick if we realized how many horses in this country and Canada were on EPO. Here in Ohio it’s as easy buying food from the grocery store to get ahold of

If it's so easy to obtain and use, how come nobody is 'caught' using it??

Because the time frame to catch it is very small. Won't show up race day.
