I wrote the advert so my apologies if I got it wrong. Pitty doesn't race as many as those in front of him on the premiership table. So in my view he has a "comparatively small stable".

I reckon you'd have more fun with Pitty.

Yes only for a certain time which we can adjust.

Racecafe does not have 15,000 members. BGP have marketed themselves very well on social media. There is a flaw in there approach in terms of sustainability but we will leave that for another day. As for High School members that is a large proportion of Facebook members. BGP may have targeted that social media channel. Not hard to do. As for the NZ domain vs .com argument the law allows it. That's one of the reasons Racefields Legislation is on a hiding to nothing. The internet is one of those few remaining places where there is freedom. Everyone competes on price. Isn't that how it should be?

Yes that's true but the horse deserves better.

Now that Consensus looks like heading to the broodmare paddock can we move on from critiquing her. I think we all agree she was an honest horse that batted above her weight.

A relatively honest post from Mr Molloy on the other channel: "I can't t see it bothering us Rumpers, I only listen to people with credibility, not anonymous trolls, although he’s entitled to his opinion because this is racing after all and everyone has an opinion. I personally have no interest in the mare from a racing perspective anyway. It’s actually all about our deceased Mum anyway, that’s why she’s racing in the family name. Secondly Alysha rides her and she makes decisions based on the events that unfold during the race. That’s her job. We don’t criticise jockeys, we support them and their decisions, that’s why Alysha has pretty much ridden the mare her entire racing life, because she does a good job, she’s mind to Kimmy, she doesn’t hit her and she looks after her once she’s beaten. As for The Counties Cup performance, that’s true, but clearly the author doesn’t know she had an A fib that day. She won a G1 next start though so it didn’t harm her !! I note the horse in the same race yesterday, he who ran fourth to Winx last start, Comin’ Through, didn’t produce his best either, they’re not machines and racing against Winx hurts you, deep down. It wouldn’t have mattered what happened yesterday in the run, the mare ran well below her best, she’s had enough and I’m told she’s coming home ( even though Coolmore offered a Fastnet Rock foal share ) She’s done her job, she now has an Australian G1 pedigree notation bedside her name, and she’s won just under a hundred grand during the tour. We’ve also turned down a million Australian for her ( she’s a G1 winning mare, they’re a very rare commodity, and she’s 17 times a black type performer now, I think that’s right, a troll will correct me if I’m wrong by one or two ) and she has a Cox Plate winner on her page. We’re smiling, we’re proud of Kimmy, and as long as she’s healthy and sound we’ll be happy.
