WhoKnows 791 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 Think it might be time for this champion jumper to hang up his boots. Hasnt come up at all this season and today's run was abysmal, we know Kevin Myers is a genius but even I don't think he can get this horse back to near his best.

Tinkerbelle 79 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 He is a quirky old guy though. If he doesn't like things, he lets the jock know. Today was a hurdle of course ... I might think about one more steeple before they make a call on retirement? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryb 2,062 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 Pleased I don't own a horse with you, 2 Jumps runs this time in & both on unsuitable tracks and you want to sack it. Wait until its failed 2 or 3 times on heavy first before you start even thinking like that. THE TORCH and Tinkerbelle 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumpole 483 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 what an incredible horse?? Rachel Frost must be commended for sending him to Kevin Myers Incidentally the man of the moment won a maiden high weight on him over 1600m at Foxton in 2012 Chris Johnson thought he was a nice horse but he had behavioural issues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris or the horse? Sea King still has but what a great horse. Incidentally I heard Des say yesterday that Sea King with 15 wins (10 hurdle & 5 steeplechases) has probably won the most jumping races by a horse in the last 40 years in NZ. Didn't get a chance to ring and correct him but one I could recall in the 80s Crown Star won 17, 12 steeplechase and 5 hurdle wins. Incredibly in 24 flat starts he never won a race managing one third. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
