Ponderosa8 1,351 Report post Posted August 28, 2018 From a selfish racing/punting point of view, I'd love to see him continue on at least for a little bit. If he was to start in a G1, he might start at 15's (for example) because of his known issues at the start. So would you put a couple of dollars on him then.?? I would for sure.. "pay your money and take your chance"... would definitely be heart in the mouth stuff at the start and make the race pretty interesting.... But if he was to miss the start by 15 lengths or whatever, I wouldn't like to see him put under any sufferance to get into the race..

Leggy 4,076 Report post Posted August 28, 2018 Seems like a sensible, well reasoned decision to me. Let him complete the re-education without the pressure and see what happens when that is complete and he goes back to the trials. No harm can surely be done. ivanthegreat 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted August 28, 2018 So I asume Mr Q is known to stewards so they know his qualifications . Hahaha what a laugh otherwise. Please please never ever let these people on the panel ever be involved in a criminal case or a corruption enquiry if they do not know the bona files of Mr Q and researched his qualifications . The bizarre becomes the ridiculous. However if iam ever the suspect please God let they be the ones investigating me.Money and more money it makes people mad.

I've no idea why you would think that the stewards conducting the hearing would allow evidence from someone they did not know the identity or bona fides of? Where did you get that idea from?

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted August 28, 2018 Fair play Leggy , Probably read into it too much the Mr Q being incognito , in hindsight he must have surely been known and thoroughly checked out by stewards to the bona fide nature of his claims , checking qualifications and paperwork, no regulatory authority would be that inept. Strange though he's not giving evidence to a gangland killing but his privacy is his privacy, each to his own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted August 29, 2018 A few people have put forward the theory that back him and you take your chance . However he runs in his current mood the market is wonky and all punters on the race take their chance . Say back Nature Strip if he gets a slot at 6s , the Champ starts within say 3 lengths of field that ticket should be say 10s , the Champ stands still you have 6s that should be less say 3 bucks . To factor the good chance he won't start into the form line makes a mockery of what should be a huge punting race. How many races does a punter factor that in, well I've been punting for nigh on 40 years and it's not a lot.I know his history of falling out of gate but he mostly don't fall out no more. As for running him without him in betting , it's the richest turf race in world and one horse out betting across the board at all options and combo bets. Never seen that before , bookies betting without fav , yes all the time , great when Winx runs but it's one option not across the board. Also read somewhere else a mention they should use a cattle prod on him at rear of stables, what standing next to the chimney with the little 5 year old with a brush up cleaning the dust.It is 2018 isnt it . 8 million buck winner, cattle prod, give me strength. Not on this forum thankfully. Pam Robson 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis2 1,078 Report post Posted September 21, 2018 Good. Hope he goes out and kicks ass. Super horse who deserves as many chances as he can get. Instead of dropping out six lengths last he just starts 6 lengths last. Grego, scooby3051 and richie 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohokaman 5,824 Report post Posted September 27, 2018 Some interesting observations from Tommy Berry about that barrier scratching....he could be right. D Day for the old boy tonight. If he jumps with them, he's bound to get that last Everest slot.
