The Sport of Kings & Equine Matters šŸ

The dream is over already. Has a condition in her front legs whereby the vet said she will go lame anytime she is subjected to an intensive training schedule.

yes, you mentionedā€¦pity. Insurance doesnā€™t cover that either

Vet said you could leave her off for the summer and sheā€™d come back fine for a few months but it was highly likely it would flair up again once the training got serious.

[quote=ā€œThe Runt, post: 782526, member: 181ā€]This thread is dead.

Between lads passing off tips from other forums as their own and one of our foremost tipsters advising blindly following a particular trainer I think we have reached the end.

It certainly goes to pot once the flat kicks in alright.

Is it time for a separate National Hunt thread ? Plenty of summer jumps racing to keep us entertained.

We can leave Mac and Carryharry to chat away amongst themselves here

I take it that itā€™s just this thread you are leaving and not the forum itself ?

Horse ownership can break your heart Runt. Sorry to hear that.

Iā€™m not going anywhere. I though Runt was closing the thread down.

Youā€™ve got awful testy with me lately DB. Was it me accusing Condon of stopping your horse that annoyed you or have I donā€™t something else to attract your ire?

Not at all Mac. But I donā€™t know why you canā€™t come out and say ā€œI love the flat and Iā€™m proud of itā€.

macs engagement on matters flat racing is simply disgusting.
I think its time to setup a NH only thread, this was an ignominious end to this great thread

I detest it and all it stands for DB. No such thing as syndicates, 3 or 4 owners who dictate what happens in the industry. Most decent horses retired after 2 years of running. Every year thereā€™s a new ā€˜greatest horse of all timeā€™. 50 grand in prize money for a bad 2yo maiden in Sligo. Its fuelled and dictated by the rich getting richer and the common man has no place in the game.

Give me Kilbeggan on a rainy miserable Friday rather than the Curragh.

However, if I see a chance to make money, Iā€™m not going to turn my nose up at it. If you saw a 20 euro note on the street would you leave it there?

Big time. He doesnā€™t deserve to have the great AP as his avatar. Mind you, heā€™ll probably be changing it to a snap of Mick Halford any day now.

Is that Synchronised Macā€¦if so, Iā€™d say he is turning in his grave at your recent behaviour on this thread

Give it up Mac, nobody here believes you

If you have to ask who it is, then youā€™ve no place on a NH thread

1 winner, 2 nowhere

Not great mac in fairness.

This isnā€™t a get rich quick scheme Fagan.

Clearly.

Mossey Joe the fcuker, I didnā€™t see him in Stratford today

Fagan, I presume you back the winner of the 7:40 in Downpatrick today
