Flashing Steel has passed away aged 31, R.I.P. to the 1995 Irish Grand National winner.
My thoughts are with the Haughey and Mulhearn families.

Black Jack Ketchum for Jonjo O Neill has gone to the gallops in the sky.

I remember the TV saying that some punter had placed a significant bet on him to win the next 3 world hurdles. He fell later on that day and wasnât the same horse after it.
Red Marauder. I hope he gets heavy ground in the sky
He was a huge talking horse around that time but amounted to nothing. Who trained him?
John joe
JohnJoe wouldnât train lassie to bark no wonder Black Jack Ketchum did fuck all.

Ah here. JJ has an unbelievable roll of honour. He won a GC very recently. Eaten bread is soon forgotten and all that.
Heâs past it now alright I think but he was well able to produce em
All he knew what to do was run his horses dishonestly all year until they got to Cheltenham where their handicap mark was so lenient he would pop up with a few wins in handicaps. Give him a top horse and he wouldnât know what to do with it.
Assume your joking
A handicap mark isnât much good to you in the gold cup.
What about Albertas Run? Iris Gift? Intersky Falcon? Synchronised? Taquin de Seuil?
He has a gold cup a grand national and bags of other cheltenham wins even excluding the handicaps.
John Joe is a legend of the game in fairness

More of that too, Johnjo could get a good one spot on for a grade 1.

Were any of those horses you named superstars? Did they win anything bar one or maybe two good pots each? If another decent trainer had the same horses would he have done the same or better? Maybe, maybe not. If I had a good horse I could think of 15 NH trainers I would send it to before Johnjoe.
So could IâŚnowâŚbut his career has spanned 20 years
Would you not consider synchronised a superstar? Lexus, gold cup, Welsh national before he was killed at 9?
Your being very harsh based on his form over last few years. Could you name 15 trainers with more big races winners than him over the last 20 years I wonder? Only 4 lads with more festival winners than him
