Ya. Cian got 20 million I think for Kilkenny. That Scott brash would pay similar.
Insane money in America. Multi millionaires paying fortunes for horses in Ireland to try and keep the wife or daughter out of trouble.
A local lad was in a jump off in Florida a few years ago with Steve jobs daughter, springsteens daughter and possibly one of the Olsen twins. Roman abromovichs daughter was competing to a high level at one point as well.
I donât follow it, but are there both geldings and entires competing? I thought for some reason theyâd be mostly geldings as theyâd be easier to settle. The RTE simpleton commenting described one of the horses as a 12yo stallion, there are hardly horses servicing mares and then competing are there?
No but you can take embryos off the mares. They are half breds so rules around thorough breds donât apply.
Whatâs Magnierâs involvment then? Is he breeding showjumping horses for sale?
The boxing ainât doing much for their side mind you
Hi lads.
Fuck off with your horsey scutter to the horsey threads.
Nope.
His three grand children are good. They are personally coached by cian o Connor with the idea theyâll compete with in the Olympics.
Heâs just funding it. Essentially throwing money at it.
Ok guys, no one gives a fuck about horses.
Can the mods step in here.
As dark a day as I can recall on the board
Just heard the commentary of the rowing gold medal today. PLodge was good.
Imagine the scutter Marty would have spewed out
I think the testers have got wise to a bunch of the Kenyan tactics which has stalled them more in recent years. We could see the 3 Ethopians fighting it out. The âCanadianâ may be the flier to upset the apple tart. Always seems to rise to the big stage.
As an aside, great to see someone from the refugee team in the final. Hope they give a good show of themselves. Heâs based in Israel so they mustnât think a lot of him if they havenât rushed through his citizenship yet.
Ireland playing NZ in Hockey and RTE showing surfing from Tahiti. Must have hit the quota for rich peoples sports for the day.
Itâs grim showing across the channels right now
