... not sure of the weight that argument carries for me. Like why did the con-man rip off the old lady when surely he knew they'd paper-trail his frauds ... (still plenty of con-men around doin' their stuff and getting caught from time to time) Each case on its merits but their history does not help convince onlookers of innocence in this case Flagship. Maybe it was Suzy the waitress, bearing mmmmmm Moccona - who took a quick trip down under to the harness then hightailed it back to South Africa ... And if you think that's far-fetched - look no further than what passes for an effective (partial) defence in the TB industry in recent times (need I say more?) - and all is forgiven and the transgressors still seem to be regarded by some as darlings of the industry. Sad and sorry times indeed. J.

Hey Flash ..I've been pretty keen on Burgundy but things seem to have quietened off a little the last few months for him on the track. I still like him though and will be interested to see what the new crew at CS set his fee at for 2018. I don't take too much notice of the sales prices as I'm not a sales breeder and there is far too much smoke n mirrors in that caper to read a lot into it IMO ... What are you looking at Flash - and how many mares are you looking to breed this year? Cheers, J
