I second the vote for the Northfield announcer. Young, and does a very good job.

Do any of my friends on here know how I could find ron maclean , he owed me 20 grand on a purchase gone bad , he was sending money from an ontario address ..but is has stopped

Another one broke down on the road to the Derby. Surgery tomorrow morning to screw his fractured ankle back together. Sad to see this without knowing how good he really was!

I wouldn't do anything without consulting with Mike.

As long as he'd discuss, I'd be fortunate.

I think he'd get this business model because in part I came up with the expanded version with it thinking last night of him rehabbing DC's mare.

He says he wants to be in a profitable business, but goes on to describe a retirement "hobby", or a really poorly thought out business plan.
Only a small percentage of owners actually make money. This "plan" will only work if he gets lucky and finds the next So Much More.

Fucko, I'm the investor.

Pitching me, and I set the conditions.

Brains also work well with luck you dummy.

The business model hasn't been formed.

But as I slept on it, I think I figured out the direction.

To bid on quality existing racing horses that might need to be rehabbed and  treated, then brought to better handlers, then back to the track or breeding.

Possibly an owner share (fractional?) too where I'd be majority partner, decision maker with our junior partner and other experts.

You're disqualified from participation, however freely sling your insults! 

Speaking to SDST2009 he's (I assume a he) very sincere, very knowledgeable, respectful going back to his first posts here.  Talks straight too.

I'm winding down the gambling, I just don't enjoy it anymore.  I don't have the stamina, and obviously the results show that.

These are my conditions...

I'm in South Florida, let's say I'm alive in 2027, and I want to invest in harness racing $100k and never a penny more out of pocket, but profit, yes.  I'll likely have a home in NYC too before then.

Not in it for a hobby, but a business. 

I'd like to spend more time learning about equine well being, more time on the farm around animals and those who care for them.  Seems very tranquil and the hand full of times in my life I enjoyed it.

If racing, I never want to race an unsound horse, must always be 100%.

If I own a race horse, I want it for life, it's family.

No unlawful drugs, no undetectable stuff.  No nonsense.

Maybe not racing, but breeding, or some other aspect, although racing seems the most exciting, but I have the patience for breeding too. 

Lastly, part of my investment would be giving a (one free) junior partnership with i.e. trainer, breeder, vet, a very crucial person that we would share that common goal to win, be at profit and always look out  for the best interest of the horse(s).

Please tell me.
