IEAH Stables has sold its interest in its 2008 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown to a group of current investors in the stallion, including Three Chimneys Farm. Three Chimneys, in Midway, Ky., has stood the 8-year-old Boundary horse since his first season at stud in 2009. The Stallion Company brokered the private deal.
“I represented a group of investors—current shareholders that included Three Chimneys and some of their partners—that bought out IEAH’s holdings in Big Brown,” said The Stallion Company’s Jamie LaMonica. “It was 11 shares. IEAH needed to make a sale; we thought that the horse was doing well. He’s a unique horse that has bred more mares every year he’s been at stud, which is indicative of really good foals. We’ve gotten great feedback from trainers and think the best is yet to come. So we thought it was a good opportunity to increase the position on the horse.”
Big Brown’s first crop hit the racetrack last year and was led by stakes winner Brown Almighty, who is Grade 3-placed. Big Brown is the sire of U.S. juvenile winners Darwin, Insolvent, Brown Eyes Blue, Archer Hill, and Miss Lucky Sevens, among others. Last March, Big Brown’s son out of the mare Cool Ghoul topped Fasig-Tipton Florida’s select juvenile sale when Coolmore went to $1.3 million for him.
“It consolidates ownership a little bit, and allows them to have a firmer control of the direction in which he will go,” LaMonica said of the purchasers, adding that it would be business as usual for the stallion, who is expected to continue shuttling to the Southern Hemisphere after the breeding season in the U.S.
IEAH, led by managing partner Mike Iavarone, has faced financial difficulties the last several years. In May, the publicly traded American Basketball Association signed a letter of intent to buy IEAH’s pinhooking operation while maintaining IEAH as the operation’s manager. IEAH owns the Ruffian Equine Medical Center that it built in 2009 near Belmont Park, but the clinic closed in 2011.

"Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit." I don't believe Mike Iavarone ever understood that fundamental truth, did he?

Big Brown has the older bloodlines - Damascus Round Table & Northern Dancer. He needs to be bred to inbred Mr. Prospector Mares 3 x 3.

Should change the name from IEAH Stables to Boiler Room Stables. Why has iavarone faced financial dificulties in the last few years, that's what i would like to know.

If you watched the belmont that year and didnt think that something was fishie about that. that must been your first race you ever saw. I knew something was wrong with that from the start of the race watch the jocky as soon as he came out of the gate told you something was about to happen. all thoes guys in cluded the jocky should be banded for life

I don't see anything great yet from Big Brown. He was a powerhouse of a horse on the track, but his get is yet to be of star quality...

You're not less guilty because someone else is also guilty. And when you commit a crime the judge can give you any sentence he feels is warranted.
The suspensions are starting to get longer for trainers getting caught juicing their horses.
Heath Reed got a 21 year suspension for frog juice in New Mexico.
3 or 4 trainers got 10 year suspensions in Louisiana for frog juice. Others down their got 5 and 3 year sentences.
You do the crime, you do the time that the governing body in the state you're operating in gives you. NYRA gave him 10 years. Two NY State Courts denied his appeal and the Federal Court will deny it to.
Dutrow damaged the sport and he deserves every day he's suspended.
I've said this before, personally I hope the Feds / FBI get involved in this sport and some of these criminals (trainers, owners, track officials) that are fixing races are thrown in jail not just suspended for many years. It's outrageous that they get away with what they get away with, which is robbing the public on a daily basis at every track in this country.
You've got to be insane to bet on this sport with serious money. Either insane or wealthy and can afford to lose / be robbed of your money.
