probaly a favor as you mentioned cuz the guy listed as owner was listed as owner/trainer first time out
Interesting to me that the #1 horse in here is trained by Ness but not owned by Midwest.....I have seen their other trainers train horses for others but never Ness.....Granted I haven't seen every horse he has raced over the past few years but I have seen most of them and everyone has been owned by Midwest......Maybe its a favor to a friend who doesn't have a WV license......Im not sure......But I just found it curious because I know several people have approached him to claim horses and he has said he can't because he is a private trainer for Midwest
