Equine air transport company Tex Sutton has not yet secured a new lease on a cargo plane, reports bloodhorse.com. President Rob Clark said Tex Sutton is still “weeks or even a couple months away” from a full resumption of operations.
Tex Sutton's lease on “Air Horse One” expired on May 8, and negotiations for a new lease have begun but are not yet complete. Other temporary alternatives include seeking a lease on a slightly smaller aircraft, or chartering flights for a full load of horses.
In the meantime, Tex Sutton is acting as an authorized agent for FedEx's equine air transport services, which will carry Belmont Stakes weekend contenders from the West Coast to New York on May 29 and June 2, according to the company's website.
