Sorry to hear this Art, terrible for all concerned
I'm really sorry to hear that Art. Commiserations to all of you.
That is very sad news Art. R.I.P. Baby Bob.
Pluralism of Ideas and the prosperity of any land are intertwined. Freedom of minds and skill of intellect to 'think the unthinkable' is how humanity has progressed; when minds are incarcerated nothing endures.
She looked great and ready to rock. Unfortunate.

You deserved better luck.
Sorry for you lads.
Lady Sarelle, dam of the great Apache Gold died yesterday also when foaling; foal also dead.
She was the first racehorse I was involved with and while only placed once, she gave us great fun and frustration in equal measure, as she loved finishing fifth, leading to all sorts of conspiracy theories. (She may even have seen on the grassy knoll.)
One of the highlights was when breeder Ml Duane was on the phone to me (yet again ) when his wife asked me as to how many horses Sheikh Mohammed owned , and secondly if he spent as much time as Mike on the phone talking about them !
Two fillies exist, a Dansant 3yo and a Finnsceal Fior yearling as well so no doubt you will not have heard the last of these, on here at any rate.
A bad day all round, Eddie, she must have been a dote to produce a horse like Apache Gold.

A complete c''t when the mood took her.
Bad luck Old Bean. Great story about Mike's wife, but what was she doing next to you when her hubby called?

Very sad news, thoughts with you all.
RIP Baby Bob and Lady Sarelle

Best of luck with them, Roddy.
Torrent Des Mottes runs in the bumper at Downpatrick tomorrow. Ground conditions should suit.
Bunk Off Early scoped really mucky after Punchestown so he's on his hols now. No decision yet whether he stays over hurdles or goes chasing. He apparently worked every bit as well as Cilaos Emery and Melon before Punchestown so I'd like to stay over hurdles.
Airlie Beach ran a cracker on the Saturday. She could stay over hurdles, go chasing (not my choice) or even go to the breeding shed. At Punchestown, carrying 11-7, she posted pretty much the same time as Open Eagle (11-8) when he won the handicap. He did that off 148 and has gone up to 153. Airlie went up one to 141.
The older I get the better I was.
