Webber hits Talk Show circuit to discuss newest acquisition


Otsego Farms owner Jim Webber appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly in New York City this morning to start spreading the news about his newest racer, the 3yo colt A View To A Kill.

The light bay colt is by the famed Otsego stallion and Triple Crown winner War Machine, out of the Bally Doyle mare, super-stayer Dancing Delaware.

A beaming Webber stated, "I've been after this fellow ever since his first race. The principals at Bally Doyle have been reluctant to sell, but Mandy (Bally Doyle owner Amanda O'Brien) finally gave her consent as a personal favor to me."

Otsego trainers plan on a 45-60 day rest, followed by entries in dirt races of 10-16 furlongs.

When asked about the terms of the deal, Webber grinned and replied, "Cash, future considerations, and services rendered".

Thanks Foxie. Yeah, I was happy to see Daredevil win that race. I've tried to get him a couple times but, the owners rightfully hung on to him. He looks like a beast in the making.

Let's talk about Machine Gun. :)

I heard from an anon source at Jim's farm that it was services rendered by him .......... and that he had done some indepth research to confirm that it was indeed legal in several states - the farm manager wouldnt give any more info after that but boy did he blush!

I still think someone got the short end of the stick.
