Million Dollar Homebred!
Dear Partners and Friends,
Finnegan's Wake was a homebred raised by Matt Gannon and myself. We sold him to Donegal Derby Dreams III for $30,000. Finnegan has earned a little over $635,000 and has been a very steady campaigner.
Now we have sold 60% of Finnegan for $300,000, bringing his earnings for DDIII to nearly a MILLION dollars. The neat thing is that we still own 40% of him!
Finnegan will now be majority owned by Rockingham Ranch in California and will race with Peter Miller on the West Coast. There are three mile and a quarter graded stakes coming up at Santa Anita they think he will fit very well. Not only will Donegal earn 40% of the purses, but the value of PUCA (DDVI) will go up every time Finnegan does well in a graded stake. (And FYI: Bill Mott thinks PUCA is ready to win his next out).
A special thanks to Dale Romans for the outstanding work done with Finnegan up to this point and to Jim Hatchett and Conor Foley for arranging this terrific transaction for Donegal.
Jerry
