Where is the evidence? The horse had had respiratory issues for a long time before Kerr got him. Are you saying the previous trainer was at fault? As for the "intel" those rumours were rife about argon but there was never any evidence found in NZ or OZ. As we have debated before argon is not easy nor cheap to get a hold of and there would be a chain of evidence relating to supply. Kerr was under pressure because of his gambling but you draw long bows my friend. The horse HAD respiratory issues BEFORE Kerr got it. As for her dissection if she wanted to prove a point why wasn't the dissection done with reputable trained people observing and under proper forensic conditions? Why weren't blood samples taken before the dissections? Were tissue samples taken during the dissection and tested or even analysed by a trained animal pathologist? All that would have proved her point well and truly. She had no evidence that the alleged lung damage wasn't caused by a pathological disease the horse had over a long period of time. In my opinion it is worse than that however even based on this assessment by you why should any credence be given to Nairn's findings? That's the biggest problem with social media implausible and outlandish conspiracies are given airtime and there is always a group willing to believe them. Nairn's evidence and conclusions fall over on numerous points. I've already posted a few as has more eloquently @Steven B - but if the argon gave Arcano the necessary lift to win how did it do it? Argon is stated by Nairn as an EPO agent (a stretch at best) yet Arcano was known to have respiratory issues prior to Kerr training him and Nairn says Argon damaged his lungs then if both those facts are correct how did Arcano win? The horse wins because her conclusions are wrong. -

FFS @the galah her "knowledge" is BS. If you are not anti-racing then she should "irritate" the hell out of you. -
thats a chief type of reply. Where someone says i have i said something,in this case your comments makes me uncomfortable,when i have never said that. so comment away as much as you like . My analysis of your comments is you come across as intolerant of what shes doing and saying.Like you think shes got just enough knowledge to irritate you. you asked for proof that arcano was fridge gased by m kerr.. I know that seems to be a constant in many of your posts. but heres the thing as i posted a while back on this topic.. M kerr was rumoured to be doing that,the horse made what many thought was a remarkable turnaround in form within just weeks of m kerr getting it to win easily at addington,then the said horse dropped out next start and then was retired after the next start. Hrnz at the time,had said they were taking allegations of the fridge gas seriously due to the intel they had,had also issued media releases to that effect. M kerr was known at the time to be under immense pressure through his unusual behavior at some race meetings and it was subsequently revealed he had lost millions in gambling and defrauded many people through many different means. then,to add to that, we get this nairtn lady saying she was involved in the rehoming process and after arcano was rehomed ,apparently the horse exhibited issues related to damaged lungs. Then nairn ,to apparently prove a point ,dissected the horse and displayed on her facebook page what she said were the lungs of arcano,pointing to what she said were damaged lungs and gave what she thought was the reason.i.e. treated with fridge gasing by the trainer rumoured to be fridge gasing.. now you can talk as much as you like about the things not stacking up,the lack of definitive proof. And your right,there isn't any definitive proof. nairn's conclusions are based on circumstantial evidence so need to be viewed accordingly. but despite all you have said steven b,i bet you my bottom $,that if you asked people who had knowledge ot the trainer and the horse,they would say they believed nairn. and thats how life works,rightly or wrongly,people make assuptions and draw conclusions and just have to follow their own instincts and knowldge to form their opinions. And in this case,what nairn has said seems entirely plausible to me as well.. i had thought the places like what was once saddle and stirrups, took horses with the intention of rehoming them. you appear to be saying they don't and say nairn should have retained arcano,not rehomed him. i think you know thats not how those rehoming places work. -
thanks for the update.Glad to hear the op on her eyelids went well.. Thailand very reasonably priced by the sounds of it, for that type of thing. So shes thinking about getting a tummy tuck in the future? i hope that goes well for her..

by Dan Ross & Jessica Martini POMONA, CA – The Fasig-Tipton California Fall Yearlings Sale, held Tuesday at Fairplex, produced average and median figures largely in line with its 2024 renewal even as its clearance rate declined. A total of 140 yearlings sold for $4,603,400. The average increased 11.4% to $32,666 and the median remained steady at $15,000. In 2024, 163 head grossed $4,781,400 for an average of $29,334. With 97 horses reported not sold, the buy-back rate rose to 40.8%. It was 34.8% a year ago. “The California breeding program is such a great breeding program, so these breeders are proud to take and race their homebreds,” said Fasig-Tipton's Mike Machowsky. “There is such an advantage for stallion awards, breeders awards, and owners awards in California. There is a big advantage for those breeders. There is money to be made with a nice Cal-bred. So guys aren't shy to take them home.” A filly by Corniche brought the auction's top price when selling for $250,000 to Legacy Ranch. The yearling was one of three to sell for over $200,000–matching the figure from last year–and 11 to sell for six figures. Eight yearlings sold for six figures at the 2024 auction. “We are committed to serving and establishing a solid sale out here in Southern California to support the market and all the breeders,” said Machowsky. “We are here to support these California breeders and we are going to stay here.” Corniche Filly to Legacy A filly from the first crop of Corniche (hip 193) will be joining the roster at Legacy Ranch after the Parrellas' operation purchased the yearling for a sale-topping $250,000 in Pomona Tuesday. “The Corniches were selling very well at Keeneland,” trainer John Sadler, who was seated alongside Legacy manager Terry Knight, said of the filly's appeal. “And she is a very smooth filly. We thought she was the best horse in the sale.” The 43 yearlings by Corniche who sold at the recently concluded Keeneland September sale averaged $203,651. The stallion stands at Coolmore for $15,000. Hip 193 is out of Carmelita (North Light {Ire}) and is a half-sister to multiple stakes winner Carmelita's Man (Mucho Macho Man). She was bred by Richard Barton Enterprises and was consigned by Barton Thoroughbreds, agent. “There have been a lot of good horses coming out of this sale the last couple of years and the state-bred program is solid,” Sadler said. “There are races for these horses on our circuit. We were delighted to get her.” Sadler continued, “She will go to Legacy Ranch. Terry Knight will break her and supervise her early training up there.” Hip 20 | Fasig-Tipton Moroney Strikes Again at Fairplex John Moroney, who purchased the $250,000 sale-topping son of Stay Thirsty at last year's Fasig-Tipton California Fall Yearlings Sale, struck again in Tuesday's renewal of the auction with matching $225,000 bids to acquire a colt by Maxfield (hip 20) and a son of Good Magic (hip 61). Both yearlings were purchased in partnership with trainer Steve Knapp and Thomsen Racing. Knapp handled the bidding on both colts, who, like last year's sale-topper, were bred by Terry Lovingier and consigned by Lovingier's Lovacres Ranch. Out of graded stakes winner Lost Bus (Bring the Heat), hip 20 is a half-brother to stakes winner Bus Buzz (Stay Thirsty), who won the 2023 Real Good Deal Stakes for Knapp, Lovingier, Thomas Halasz and Amanda Navarro. “I trained Bus Buzz, who looks just like him,” Knapp said. “He was a running son of a gun.” Steve Knapp | Fasig-Tipton Knapp also has experience with the colt's freshman sire Maxfield. He trains his son Max Ciao and co-owns the colt with Lovingier and Moroney. Max Ciao won the Sept. 5 I'm Smokin Stakes at Del Mar. “He looks like both of them,” Knapp said. “He's a big, good-looking horse. And we will go from there.” Hip 61 is out of stakes winner Noble and a Beauty (Noble Causeway), a mare purchased by Lovingier with the colt in utero for $22,000 at the 2023 Keeneland November sale. “He's bred really nicely and he's a really good-looking colt,” Knapp said. “If you don't buy them, then you've got to beat them.” Moroney, along with Knapp and Thomsen Racing, partnered to acquire an additional three yearlings, led by a filly by McKinzie (hip 86) for $100,000. In partnership with Tom Landon, Moroney purchased a pair of yearlings by Stay Thirsty (hip 65 and hip 21) for matching $40,000 price tags. All seven were from the Lovacres Ranch consignment. A Missouri businessman, Moroney owns a string of Taco Bell restaurants in the Midwest. Last year's sale-topper, now named Fionello, races for Knapp, Lovingier, Moroney and Sandra Lee Grey. A debut winner at Santa Anita in May, he was fourth in the Aug. 8 Graduation Stakes and again in the I'm Smokin Stakes last time out.
