I know there is a discussion for certain thoroughbred owners (Zayat Stables, Mandy Pope, Stonestreet, the Mosses) so I figured I would make one where we can discuss other owners in the industry.

Three and easy as Godolphin mainstay sets his sights on another Derby
The trainer tells Steve Dennis it’s just like old times and he’s happy about it
Originally published May 30
Show me a trainer with three Derby runners, all with a chance, and I’ll show you a happy man. Here he is, Saeed Bin Suroor, happy with his lot, his life, the instruction ‘be happy’ one-third of a mantra that he repeats more than once to illustrate its potency.

'My stepping down will allow everyone to draw a line under things and move forward. This course of action is best for everyone'
By Lee Mottershead Racing Post JUN 6 2017
John Ferguson has announced his resignation as Godolphin chief executive following Monday's revelations that his relationship with the operation's longest-serving trainer Saeed Bin Suroor had broken down.
Ferguson told the Racing Post his parting with Sheikh Mohammed's global racing and bloodstock superpower was "best for everyone", admitting his employment within the organisation had become "untenable".

Words of owner: The colt's name is Oldbelbottoms and my son the owner is Evan. If he could get a partner for even 25% of this horse it would give him a small break on the bills....colt is in the barn of Art Sherman.
Just to make clear....this is no endorsement and have no idea about legitimacy of situation or character of owner. Was posted as an example of how difficult ownership can be.
