    Forty got a reaction from Insider in RIU V G Ville   
    We all know that we have to have some rules but I have always noticed that if you give a "dickhead' a bit of power all you get is a powerful dickhead.I always used to like to go and see my horses saddled up but reluctantly understand that in these days of large syndicates there is a safety issue.
    I have also said that racing is the only industry that needs people but then proceeds to pay people to keep them away

    Forty got a reaction from MiDeBo Racing in Min bet size needs raising   
    I agree with this comment fully. I believe the greatest handicap to racing is the fields. The stakes are so low that most owners cannot afford to keep racing their horses and anything that shows promise is immediately sold overseas and as a consequence both the numbers and quality of fields drop off. Good horses attract people who generally then like to have a wager. Whether it is $1 or $10 who cares . The important thing is that they do

    Forty got a reaction from Black Kirrama in Street Ranger the next Zenyatta ?   
    Another nice horse with an interesting pedigree also won at Matamata. This was Soleado by Don Eduardo out of Ensoleille.
    To me this combines a lot of breeding theories and certainly those of Swynford in the middle of the pedigree. I would be interested in your thoughts on this matter
