you guys want the thread to die let it die you guys keep up defending it I'm going to keep attacking it but the people have a right to know what's going on
Oh, Snap.Bottom Line ... You're just a bitter former customer who didn't do his pre-buy due diligence on what your costs would be. How can that be given your self-proclaimed superior horse business acumen? You didn't ask the right questions?You got too busy reinvesting your pantload of profits to notice?You got bamboozled?And when challenged, you come up with "I Dare You To Say That To My Face. I'm A Boxer." Child, please.
He is obviously in your head Josh..Has a great family & many people that appreciate what he is doing..Not even sure what your point is anymore but as an owner I am amazed at your lack of respect...Maybe things didn't work out for you personally-so have made that abundantly clear..(ad naseum)...who cares what he buys if people want it they will buy it if not they won't very simple..& hopefully he took the advice that I gave him about making videos of horses he has no interest in buying & holding back on some he likes.Nothing wrong with a little misdirection.. He didn't make a video about #69 in Indiana a few years ago either
Actually I did ask the costs and I was misled by him as to what they would be so wrong again go spend your time doing something else oh that's right you're not even involved in this business
Sharp response. btw, I am involved. I've made money in 1 of the last 3 years.
Lol has a great family God fucking forbid somebody with a good family does something wrong This Macdonald Guy is a fucking clown like I said if u give this guy money u deserve to lose it Anybody who gives this guy money is also a clown
Good point- don't hurt yourself..
Thank you for the reply. 2 comments I would like to make:1. When his family travels with him they should not be added to expenses, only his at best even though in all my years I have never been billed for expenses to go to a sale
I am not trying to start an argument but hope to deal with facts, not emotions. I have been involved in harness racing for over 45 years and have followed this thread form the start. I personally know 3 people involved with Anthony...2 in partnerships and 1 is a sole owner. from what I have been able to gather here is what I know or at least believe:1. Based on his monthly rate ($25.75 per 1%) plus vet, shoeing, stakes, shipping, driver/trainer% HST, etc. it would seem that it would seem like 35K would be a fir figure to get a 2 year old thru Anthony's season (November-September)2. In 2018 he had between 50-55 2 year olds but in 2019 he has only 12 3 year olds....pretty poor percentage of success3. It would seem that rather than buy 50 $20,000 yearlings investors might be better off with 20 $50,000 yearlings but that poses a problem for Anthony. One it is harder to sell 1% at $500.00 than $200.00 but more importantly Anthony makes WAY more money with 50 yearlings than 20.4. Why do people pay Anthony's training fee when in fact he rarely, if ever, sits behind your horse. If he was an A or even a B trainer, maybe, but he should quit trying to be Ron Burke. On that note, Burke in some shape or form has skin in most of his yearlings, Anthony has none.5. To cut expenses further he should use local top drivers rather than him drive/fly to drive the horse. In my opinion his driving style is leave with the best but finish with the rest.6. At the current Lexington sale sale he bought a yearling for 22K and then proceeded to say that he thought the horse was worth 70K-80K thereby making his case for buyin value (his favorite word) Sorry but with all the top trainers and owners at this sale only 1 of 2 explanations are valid: A. Everybody felt sorry for Anthony and let him buy the underpriced yearling or B. The horse was not worth more than 20K except in Anthony's eyes...NO one lets a 70-80K yearling sell for 22K but he like to impress that he finds bargains.7. Also I find it strange, but it happens at every sale he goes to that he posts 50-60 videos but buys none of these. I know some people believe that he is trying to throw off other buyers but based on his track record who cares what he thinks8. At every sale Anthony is looking to buy yearlings, good or bad because the bottom line is that the more he has the more $$$$$ he makes as Anthony is the ONLY person guaranteed to make $$$ and much of it9. In closing his concept has some value but not the way he is doing it otherwise why would more of the top trainers be doing the same thing..reason is that he can attract $200 investors but not a $20K investor. Eventually, like most plans like this will come to an end but the sad part is that many people will have a bad taste in their mouth about harness racing.
And your insight into this matter is well informed and enlightening? Take a nap if it's tiresome. Mugshot upon request. AND YOU MADE A PROFIT LAST 2 OUT OF 3YRS, YET WE SEE ZERO EVIDIENCE OF ANY STARTERS . Some of these guys are spot on.
