Chase said he is behind in paying 25 percent of the Stallions' vendors but said he has the funds reserved to pay the Stallions' Horse Park bill, due Monday — about $3,000 for each of 10 games.
Chase said the team is leaving the Horse Park because the Stallions were going to have to spend an additional $13,000 to remove and later reinstall the basketball floor to accommodate another Horse Park event.

Let me get this straight. Someone signs a lease agreement with a horse park arena to play basketball then this same someone seems surprised when horse events are also held? Hmmmm. Chase also owned another under-performing minor league basketball team during the same period of time.

Tony Chase, the Lexington, Ky.-based owner of the American Basketball Association’s Music City Stars, issued a statement on the dismantling of the young franchise that read longer than the Stars’ season.
“We will spend the next few months determining what course, if any, will be taken in the future,” Chase began. “It is difficult at best to introduce a minor league sport into a community, much less attempting to do so following two attempts in the recent past.”
He went on to discuss how difficult it had been to get fans in the seats, adding that most of the attendance was the result of complimentary tickets.

Considering Mr. Chase's track record, he is a strange choice for CEO. However, this IS the strangest minor league in the world.
