Ocho Locos Stable LLC began in November 2002.  The stable began by purchasing a horse named Killer Angel for $100.  Killer Angel had an ankle problem and needed a lay-up of 6 months to recuperate.  The stable we purchased Killer from did not want to do the lay-up so 8 of us purchased Killer Angel, bad ankle and all, and did the lay-up.  The stable name became Ocho Locos, for obvious reasons. 

To fund the stable each of us put in $1325 apiece to purchase Killer Angel, pay for the lay-up and to train him back into racing shape. 

Down to our last $2000 prior to his first race, Killer Angel rewarded us handsomely by finishing in the money in his first three starts, before reeling off two straight wins in open $16,000 claiming company at Laurel.  Killer was claimed out of his second winning race on Sept 11, 2003.

Through the almost 4 years of Ocho Locos Stable being in business, the members of the stable never had to pay a cash call - the horses always managed to pay for themselves. 

Ocho Locos Stable dissolved in August of 2006.
