Thank you Catalina. I just hope people realize Borel has no income right now and needs to survive. Could her timing have been better before her best friend started the gofundme account? Absolutely, it should have been opened last week before the lawsuit was filed. But I don't care. This woman needs to be able to tread water until her litigation is resolved. So anything donated to her is a good thing. She was naive and susceptible to those who wanted to use her veterinarian back round to hep RH after the Le Compte. Her caring training demonstrated what ability she has and she needs to be rightfully compensated.

Katey,I have no qualms about anyone who gives to her fund.You and I talked about this entire situation on the phone just the other day.And we both agreed that she may as well tear up the 10g's check they gave her after the K.B...Pretty sure Mcingvale put a brick on that piece of paper the day after The B.C.S.! I really do have empathy for her,but she has a cadre of lawyers now,and she should absolutely let them handle all correspondance with the Mcingvales from here on In. And stay off Social Media.
Love to You & Connie.

In all of this furor, a couple facts to remember. First, McIngvale has millions of dollars, so no matter what you think he is wrong. He has every right as the owner to fire her, but he is way off the track not paying her as racing tradition determines is right. An example is that I heard Rich Migliore telling a story today about when he finished 3rd behind Pebbles, his owner was so excited that he gave Rich 10% of the thurd place money which at that time was the biggest check he ever earned. McIngvale may sell mattresses but he 'lies' like a rug. He has no clue as to dealing with people and no redeeming social values I can see.

Second, we all must remember that Maria is very young and is dealing in feelings more than good business sense because she lacks the experience to have those business skills. Likely she is very scared about how she will get by and is confused and overwhelmed by publicity and controversy. Yes, she has made mistakes, but haven't we all?

I just hope that she lands on her feet and succeeds in the future. That would be the best way to show up McIngvale and his minions.
