Immediate Dividends

Nope there's no horse called Immediate Dividends although I like that name very much.

I haven't had the big, big horse but I'm working on it. I have three horses that paid immediate dividends and pay a lot of my bills.

Knighted was my first really big purchase. I negotiated a price of $125K. He was already shipped and entered in a G1 race in South Africa. A few days after purchase he wins the race and $150K. He's made another $275K even though I've really tried to mess him up. He needs another $130K to get to a million.

Kinda Crazy was a recent 2 year old purchase who I got for $50K. He's won two in a row for $85K and I'm pretty excited after winning a G1 in Brazil by 8 3/4 lenghts.

The third is Barbados. I really bought this guy because I had just gotten the farm in Barbados plus the fact he was recently gelded and he was inexpensive at $10K. Let's just say he's two for two with a G3 and G2 win and $125K in earnings.

Any horse who recoops his/her purchase price in a short period of time is a favorite of mine but I really like these guys.

Call me crazy, Keith, but given Kinda Crazy's G1 performance in Brazil, I'd say he has "Big Horse" potential written all over him.

I just noticed this thread, but thought I would mention that my mouth dropped wide open when I saw he won that G1. I can't say I don't regret selling him (or his mom!), but I will still continue rooting him on!
