.... 226 Report post Posted July 24, 2017 Pencarrow bred him and shared in ownership of the horse, would guess his new job once recovered will be as a nanny to the young stock at Pencarrow. jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather have Consensus and Thee Auld Floozie any day than Hasselhoof. He was just a average horse. Well placed in races he won.

Irrelevant of who I support Just because he was well placed doesn't automatically make him beat Consensus and Thee Auld Floozie, he did that himself. He wasn't a superstar but he was far better than an average over-hyped and over-rated horse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainbrace 12 Report post Posted July 24, 2017 Consensus and Thee Auld Floozie won the races in Hasselhoof last two starts in the better fields (than the Rich Hill). Consensus won the G1 Zabeel Classic. He was just a average over-hyped and over-rated horse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've owned lots of average horses. I'm picking you didnt like the hype - fair enough.

Group 2 winner, Group 1 placed that did have big ability but maybe issues/injury caused him from not achieving more? Certainly a class galloper when he was on-song, I don't think anyone can deny him that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad for connections, obviously couldn't get it all together after the bleed and leg issues Hi JL - my comment did not relate to purchase or lease costs - purely the quality/deeds of the horse. I don't give out the label champion lightly and he's not that - but he's done more than anything I've owned/bred so I guess in that regard he doesn't look too shabby to me. mckenzie and chelseacol 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
