Heading: Trial Court Properly Dismissed MacPhail's And Glenangus Counterclaims.

Text: MacPhail's counterclaim and the third counterclaim of Glenangus were predicated upon an alleged agreement that MacPhail would undertake to promote the syndication of Saggy if Sagner would agree to stand the stallion at Glenangus and have MacPhail manage him. Judge Liss granted Sagner's motion for summary judgment on these counterclaims by his order of February 20, 1970. In his opinion on this question Judge Liss said: There are no facts to establish a written, oral or implied agreement separate and distinct from the syndication agreement which was finalized in August of 1961. We believed this subject had been put to rest in Sagner v. Glenangus, supra. Apparently the ghost still walks. To exorcise it forever, we hold that whatever transpired between MacPhail and Sagner prior to September 1, 1961, merged in the syndication agreement which this Court held in the prior appeal was cancelled by Sagner as of February 1, 1962. Judgments affirmed, the appellants to pay the costs.
