Owners must be mad for selling horse for $80k, its not had many starts. They are stupid. 

If it is sold, new owners will be jumping up and down, some maidens are sold for $30k plus?

Will be racing for top money each week in aussie, i think it could win good races over there, making good money. Owners will regret this crazy move, thats for sure.

You may be right. Even though i think it is racing below its past efforts, could see it being a bargain buy

I see Tiger Thomson off to the states? Thats interesting, thought Aus would be far better option with his gate speed. Ohanzee been sold too. 

I see II Parata has changed stables to CJ Defillipi. I have always thought this horse was pretty good, lets see how CJ goes with it. Went two good 3rds over cup week.

Is there anywhere you can what horses are sold for? Also, who do you know if trainer sells horse for more than owners get?

don't think so

it is a trust thing at the end of the day but there are ways to keep tabs

Thought he was going to be a country cups king the way he won early on at Methven.

Just shows you once again how hard it is at the top. The only logical thing to do is sell. At 5 years old there is nowhere left to turn for him.

Just proof of what brodie has said. One stables dominance is having negative consequences on harness racing,mostly at the top end. Trainers realise they are uncompetitve, they either sell or start taking steps which sees them sometimes ending up in court.Its a self perpetuating problem. That's just the way it is. Look at the facts.
