Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted September 7, 2020 NZTR form does this horse tomorrow a disservice, he's no maiden 9 year gelding . Out of half sister to Battle Paint , brother to group winners , including a group 2 winner at Saratoga on Saturday he has earnt over million bucks over the years . Ran up sequence on poly in France ( maybe waiting for Riccarton to get laid down ) .Then won Derby trial at Group 3 at Chantilly , then ran third in French Derby just behind New Bay and Highland Reel when denied clear run , then another group placing then a run behind Highland Reel Stateside at Arlington , off to HK and run in Derby there followed by a few years of winning and placing to earn keep , finishing in HK in March . Not many Derby place getters go round on a Tuesday trials day at Rangiora . If racing has any morals , if this horse goes no good in the end he deserves a decent retirement, he's earnt enough for a few people and given then some days out .Looks a beauty of a horse .

What's he been doing since then as he stats dropped off . Let those of us who don't know much about him a bit of a bio of last 18 or so years . Good on him with Green Dispatch, hope he gets him going well. 1000 metres trial a mere blow out so early days . napier 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 It appears Green Dispatch developed an occasional habit of trying to savage other runners in HK, tried to do so in last race there after a couple of goes in 2017 . An interesting character , sounds like " Iron Mike " . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
