CBT 82 Report post Posted April 14, 2019 I had lunch with an old family friend Janet Fisher today. Her father along with Maurice (who’s garden I used to do) co-founded Fisher & Paykel. My mother went to school with her at St Cuths. She owned and bred the useful galloper Prized Touch and we got talking about horse racing then Trevor McKee’s name came up. She told me of a story many years ago at the horse sales where she purchased a yearling for 10K. The lot immediately after was purchased by Trevor and he offered Janet a share in the horse. Janet laughed and told Trevor the horse looks like a mutt declining his offer. Her yearling she bought ended up winning just the one race whereas the one that Trevor bought won 2 Cox Plates as well as a few other Group 1’s. You can probably guess which horse it was.

poundforpound 3,700 Report post Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) The only problem is the story is not true. The great mare was leased from her breeders Michael Martin & Susan Archer and Trev and co exercised the ROP some time later when they knew they had a decent horse on their hands. Yet another fantasy from CBT Edited April 19, 2019 by scooby3051 personal content toward CBT 47South and Baz (NZ) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houston, we had a problem. You'll have noted the winner finished well behind us at The Valley, as did the fifth horse......we’ll be back....we always are.

How’s the life you lead that is just a great big fucking lie.....fucking “egg man” sitting on your knee one week, Darren Weir shoving his cattle prodded up your chutney the next....and now Trev buying a horse that was never sold as described.... Why would Janet lie about that short stuff? She offered me that information of her own volition. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her father did more for racing than you ever will short stuff and she knows Trevor well telling me about the stroke he suffered prior to his passing. Why would I have any reason to doubt what she told me? Her father co founded Fisher & Paykel for gods sake and my uncle is best friends with her sister Sue.

I guess we’ll never know short stuff but I believe what she told me and I have no reason not to. How did Thayne Green and Helen Lusty get involved? I’m assuming Trevor asked them after he offered Janet a share. Anyway, you should be spending more time improving that mare rather than questioning factual information. You might finish closer than 19th next time. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pam Robson 972 Report post Posted April 14, 2019 P4P is quite correct. I trained for the Archer Corporation for several years, incl some members of the great mare's family. [ Jan Hay trained her dam Songline ] It is exactly as he states. Baz (NZ), elbow and Newmarket RC 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll be waiting with baited breath from short stuff for an apology Leigh having just confirmed what Janet told me yesterday. I can’t find Leo Molloy in Wikipedia. Funny that. P.S. I think they’ll be more chance of Consensus &/or Felaar winning a Group 1 in Australia than me getting that apology. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How exactly is the truth poor form Colin? I’ll tell what poor form is. Poor form is trolling and deliberately disputing an indisputable fact. Something I should receive an apology for but I won’t. And yes, Janet did give approval for me to quote her and I’m more than happy to give short stuff her mobile number to confirm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
