IEAH buys 1/2 of IWR--Is this good for racing?

[chrifron]

I was rooting for IWR--now, I\'m not so sure. It\'s kind of like having my favorite player traded to the Yankees.

Very tired of the self-aggrandizating sideshow that IEAH brings to the table, babe.

 They are letting Mullins keep the horse and Talamo stay aboard. I hope that won\'t change in the event of a less-than stellar performance in the Wood.

Um, you mean Red Sox, right?

Anyway, i actually think that IEAH\'s involvement in racing is a good thing. If a lot of people view them as \'villians\' that is good, every good soap opera needs a good villian.

Racing needs to market the entertainment side of their product. Whether or not anyone needs to root for or root against IEAH, that doesn\'t matter. What matters is that they create controversy, get people talking about them and most of all, they spend money on racehorses. You can\'t ever take it away from an owner who puts money into this game.

If fans are going to determine who is \"not good for racing\", IEAH isn\'t even on my radar.

[TGJB]

Completely agree.

Not a fan of IEAH like most people. But it\'s good to see someone buying horses in today\'s economy.There is not a lot of money changing hands. Only on the top end.
