So when I'd only just been told by a reliable source with links to the yard, that they are still trying to get her there, which suggests they themselves don't know whether they will have her ready in time or not, I think it's probably a good idea to ask for clarification when someone else states it as a fact? Even moreso when it turns out it's not.

For example if it were correct I'd take the bet suggested above your post in a heartbeat, and had been contemplating it based on any kind of update on Benie anyway. So far, in addiiton to what I'd been told only a few days earlier, there hasn't been a hint of a drift on Benie from PP in either of the two Mares races, and if it was a sure thing she was out PP would be seeing if they could attract money. Plus Slim has also now clarified to say that she's not out, he's just been given a slightly different version of them racing against time than the version I was given.

There's a big difference between 'she's out', which is she has definitely been been ruled out and won't make it, or they're facing a race against time that they may or may not win. Particualarly when she's such a big player, and the yes or no will have such a fundamental inpact on two markets. Right now any decision is a bet or a lay on a coin toss.

You can shove this up your hole...

The thing I love most about Slim, is his magnanimity.

I'll only thank you if the Concertista/Elimay double comes in Slim, otherwise it was a mildly useful piece of information that somehow still cost me money

A good shout, and a touch of class to follow it.

Really....Not a waste of a valuable asset
