Sad news indeed

[archie]

Very sorry to hear that, Grey.

Pity about Razzer. A top top horse in the making.
He was my reason to do the unthinkable and go to The Festival to witness Art's moment in the sun if only to see if Grey could get excited by anything.
I even got yellow baseball caps printed for the occasion; some of you may remember Baldeagle and myself wearing them ( looking like complete parrot heads) but we had a ball, met wonderful people and all the rest.
I still have the hat in a safe place to remind me what Raise The Bet did for me; only for him I may well not have been involved here at all.

[trudij]

Oh no! Bollocksy buggeration. So sorry to see this

[Maruco]

That's a real shame. What a pity he never got the chance to fulfil his undoubted potential. Feeling for you guys, Oran, Brian, et al.

Sorry to hear the news re Raise The Beat, Grey.

Roddy - good luck with Miss Eyelash.

[swedish chef]

Well done archie

Good luck Roddy

Sorry to hear about Razor - Grey & edgt

Oliver's Gold entered for hurdle & chase at Sedgefield on Thursday - I would like to see him over fences as he jumps them well at home.

Excited? I was sick with excitement for months beforehand!

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. We knew we were taking a chance by trying to bring him back.

On the other hand Colm Murphy believed in the horse and very generously looked after him free of charge for the year he was on the easy list before training could resume. These are the kind of gestures that people don't usually get to hear about.

Apache Gold runs Gowran Park 6.55 tomorrow in hands and heels apprentice race.
Donnacha attempts to be the first jockey to win twice on the horse.
He rang for the ride so either all is not be well at Ballydoyle or else he believes our "lads " to be the future , God help him !
Anyone heading there come and say hello .

[Grey]

He was making sure to get in ahead of Victoria Pendleton

[jarv]

Sorry to hear about raise the beat grey, good luck roddy with miss eyelash stable flying again! Also good luck to apache and primo capitano!

[archie]

Best of luck everybody.

And he very almost did !!!
What a sterling horse Apache is.

[QUOTE]What a sterling horse Apache is.[/QUOTE]

He surely is, does his stuff every time, bounces out and runs an honest race.

[edgt]

Wish that the rest of us were as honest and consistent.
Jockey and trainer both thought he missed the whip.

[archie]

I thought that too. Difficult to go again from the front without a couple of cracks if he's used to it. Decent performance all the same.

[michael_o]

We've retired Primo Capitano. Yesterday's race at Southwell showed beyond any doubt that he no longer has the heart for racing. Sad, but there we go.

[trudij]

Hope he has a happy retirement Michael

[michael_o]

We''ll do our best to find him a good home Trudi.

I don't doubt that at all
