Derby winner Mage shows part-owner Chase Chamberlin what surreal really is!
Chase Chamberlin, now living in the Metro Cincinnati area, four years ago co-founded with fellow Western Michigan University graduate Brian Doxtator, CMNWLTH (pronounced Commonwealth), which sells micro-shares in race horses, golfers and tennis players. On May 6, they and their 382 investors in the 3-year-old Mage reached the pinnacle when the Good Magic colt captured the Kentucky Derby. Now it's on to the Preakness Stakes. We caught up with Chase Friday May 12 when he was at Churchill Downs to watch Mage train, after which the final decision on the Preakness was made. CMNWLTH owns 25 percent of Mage, as do the father-son training team of Gustavo Delgado Sr. and Jr., blood-stock agent Ramiro Restrepo and Sterling Racing's Sam Herzberg.
