I think the $50m was contingent on him winning certain subsequent races, which of course he didn't. I haven't seen any mention of what the actual sale price was. -
This decision by Ben Hayes and the Lindsay Park team echoes a long history of trainers strategically employing blinkers to enhance a horse’s performance, especially their father, David, who played a pioneering role in popularising their use in Australia. David, who took over the reins from his father Colin (himself a champion trainer who some credit with introducing blinkers to Australia), has frequently utilised blinkers throughout his career. He often found them particularly effective for younger horses still learning their craft and for seasoned campaigners needing a change of pace. Notable examples include Jeune, who sported blinkers for his Melbourne Cup victory in 1994, and Miss Finland, who wore them when she triumphed in the 2006 Golden Slipper. -
Tell that to the purchasers of STORM BOY whose sale price went ballistic after winning the MM with an exceptional rating 50m to Coolmore, who aren't mugs last time I looked Subsequently only won a G3, maybe they are?? Aidan O'Brien now preparing to improve the rating at Ascot next summer

As an industry or sport we seem to have an obsession with breeding bonuses in the hope that breeding more horse's will make people race more North and South, i see that as flawed. Surely supply and demand the first principle in every other business applies here, why not focus on promoting ownership opportunities throughout the country Nah makes to much sense I'll give myself an uppercut. -

The connections of Fantastic Moon (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), eleventh in Sunday's G1 Japan Cup, have declined an invitation to the G1 Longines Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin Racecourse on Dec. 8, and the 4-year-old has been officially retired, Liberty Racing's Lars-W. Baumgarten confirmed Monday on X. Fantastic Moon will enter stud in 2025 at Gestut Ebbesloh as previously announced. “Finishing 11th in the Japan Cup, Fantastic Moon appeared a bit tired in the final furlong. It was a long season for him. We'll pass on the HK Vase and fly him home for the next leg of his career at Ebbesloh Stud. You gave us memories we'll treasure forever,” the social media post read. Trained by Sarah Steinberg, Fantastic Moon won the 2023 G1 Deutsches Derby to be named champion of his generation and struck twice this season at group level, including a 1 1/4-length victory in the G1 Grosser Preis von Baden in September. He retires with a record of 7-3-1 from 15 starts for earnings of $924,911. Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) is also unlikely to make the trip to Hong Kong for the Vase, South China Morning Post said. Sixth and not beaten far behind Do Deuce (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}) at the weekend, Goliath was also runner-up in this year's G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot and won the G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris when prepping for his trip to Tokyo. The post Fantastic Moon Officially Retired, Goliath Unlikely For Hong Kong Vase appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
