Title: Parcells Owns A Leg
Post by: Silver Charm on July 25, 2008, 05:53:30 PM
Ex-Giant, Patriot, Jets and Cowboys coach owns a leg of an interesting firster in tomorrow at the Spa.

Well bred firster out of Awesome Again and Victory Gallop mare has not had a gate work since late May so may not primed for best.

Keep an eye on this one.

What will hirt even worse is if the runner doesn\'t work out Parcells can always take his leg home with him.

Barry that same trainer told me of guy I know who owns 2% of one runner who comes by the barn every morning.

They nicknamed him The Milk Man. as in here comes The Milk Man.

Got any of those in your syndicate

Generally speaking, those that own the smallest percentages of a horse are the most involved, because the investment means more to them. Thank the lord for them otherwise I would not be in business. We just formed a partnership with newcomers in mind, made up of 6 yearlings we bought at the Fasig-Tipton Sale. We got 15 newcomers to participate, most at low percentages. We welcome them.

I\'m sure all of that is true but you need to know the guy Ikm talking about.

One year in the paddock before the Derby I asked him who he liked.

He looked to his left, he looked to his right he held his open like a guy looking at his hole cards at the final table in the WSOP and point to a certain number. Pulling his finger back as quickly as he extended it.

There was 20 minutes to post time.......
