BTW, so somebody bought the horse for $7500 and wants to flip him for $12.5? So be it. Whatever reason AMac gave up on him----nobody here knows why? The horse may have had different structure of ownership than the typical passive partnership he has. Who knows. Someone buys the horse for $7500, puts in the time, lets the colt mature, come into his own, maybe he's a decent, useful racehorse.
