One owner has sparked a controversial feud between the multiple other owners of the Kentucky Derby contender.

With the Kentucky Derby approaching this weekend, both the press and fans are jittering with excitement. Set to take place this Saturday, the legendary horse race is anticipated to be one for the history books. With the big day closing in, one contender has already made headlines, with a recent article highlighting one of the owners of the horse "War Story".  As an in-depth article into the success of the young entrepreneur, it seems to have sparked a feud between the multiple other owners of the horse. Feeling left out, the remaining owners have declared war on the recent college graduate.  With an attempt to reconcile and reaching out to the media he quoted, "I appreciate everyones support but would like to clarify that there I am just one of multiple owners.I could see how it article could easily be misunderstood, and I'd like to extend my apologizes to anyone who got upset over it."

According to his statement last night, he credits Anthony Altomonte, Christopher Dunn, Glenn K. Ellis and Ron Paloochi of" Loooch Racing Stable" as part owners in both War Story and Ria Antonia. Ria Antonia was the groups first horse to bring them to the Kentucky Oaks last year, after her shocking victory as the long shot at the Breeders Cup in November 2013. Originally placing second, Ria Antonia was crowned as the champion as further review showed "She's My Tiger" bumping the Juvenile Fillies and disqualified.  Running this Saturday at the 2015 Kentucky Derby, the groups newest star horse War Story has two wins, two seconds, and a third in five starts.
