  1. He's also in the wrong business running this site , bully's anybody that has a different point of view and if that doesn't work just buries them with inane questions and hypothetical . Never my intention to stick around here for long , came to make a small point , and as I know that Doug eventually bores everyone , me especially , the man has no grace when he's wrong . Catch you Joe .
  2. The thing is Freda that for some reason the big nob thinks that myself and Joe are focused on knocking TA , the tall poppy , we aren't . The discussion is around all the big syndicators here and in Australia and how it's just a lucky dip at the high end as much as the bottom . I simply stated that a number of people I know or have known would do just as well with the same budget . It's not a fine art , it's a purely a numbers game but when your buying at that level in those numbers your chances are pretty damned good of getting a couple of gun racehorses . As that stable rep stated all these tall poppies have more failures than successes , it's just the way it works . It's funny how the big players miss so many good yearlings that go on to be G1 winners with other purchasers , how did they miss them ? , because it's not an exact science . But someone as usual , one person that doesn't understand the process and chooses to create discord with nasty digs and continual accusations . The real trial of a persons ability to find good horses is to buy 10 yearlings with 100k . It's the same as the top football managers at the biggest clubs , where they have the best players and huge buying budgets , just how would they go at a division 3 club and no real spending power , that's the real test of their ability as a coach . This post won't stop him .
  3. As I said buy enough then lightening can strike and occasionally more than once . I haven't got enough time tonight to list the failures .
  4. Some things never change mate , the obtuse one hasn't changed his colors , as we knew he wouldn't .
  5. Haha I wish Gamma' , everything I bought I bought for myself . Bought a Per Incanto weanling filly at Karaka for $500 once , for someone else who asked me to find something for him , when his first crop were about to hit the track and they went BOOM , he left it in the paddock for a few months then got offered 30k but refused to sell for anything less than 60k . It returned nothing on the track and he's breeding from it and so far nada .
  6. And that is my point , most people with decent knowledge and a decent sized purse can buy a number of well bred horses and pick out a few extra good ones , it's the law of averages . They all do it . Otherwise they would all be scrapping over the same few lots , which they often are , but then they all spread their ammo out because as everybody knows there is no sure fire formula so the more tickets you buy the more chances of winning . The rest with limited budgets buy what they can and hope like hell they got lucky .
  7. As ever Joe , someone is walking on the other side of the tracks , go figure .
  8. What do they expect , a track that was dropped but they want the club to maintain the track to racing standard just so they can use it for trials . But it's OK , stakes are thru the roof .
  9. And that about sums it up when you have squillions of other people's money to play with . I know of plenty of good judges , not all high profile either , that would have bought just as many if not more good horses . Money is the liberating factor .
  10. Denby sits very nice on a horse , even in a finish , but still has to learn pace and when to move in a race .
  11. But if the whip doesn't hurt a horse why harden it even more ????
  12. Look in the dictionary under Billy Connolly , not the great comedian one . Might be in the sub section "Farkwits".
  13. Mate what can anybody say "No things are just as good", the current situation is dire , the SI is terrible and the CD isn't far behind if at all . Even in the north outside of the top 4/5 it isn't great . I can't see anything improving in the near future .
