McKay gets Rogied?

Recommended Posts

I see that Jacob McKay has lost two good horses to Rogie after Ruakaka including Aadalune.   That's really sucks especially as we can probabaly all guess how it played out after the filly was surprisingly beaten.

I gather the other would be Mr Universe, a 4yo entire (should have been gelded) who is now with his third trainer. 

Aalaalune over 1000m at Ruakaka was never a certainty. She did well to run a close second at that distance.  From what I have heard the owner is a nightmare to train for so it should be an interesting scenario with Rogie.

Shame for Jacob but a lot of stress would have also been loaded up into the float and gone away with the two horses. Jacob will be stronger for it.

'New' bee owners must be a nightmare to present day Trainers...under pressure already...

If Shillings for Jillings or any old time Trainers had this grief from newbie owners the neddy would be at their doorstep in no time...

At least he's spending his money in this Industry....

Don Ho wanted to and did...and on Prima facie evidence...got taken advantage of...

Praise be to da gods that Bren Lindsey got into plastics before the Greens banned them...and hooked up with the Yanks who love plastic..

...while Bren was already hooked on Thoroughbreds

Now Someone needs to gift a blue blood Thoroughbred to Graeme Hart or any close relatives..to get that incredibly rich family...hooked line and sink..

...and tell them Eric Watson's now dire predicament had absolutely nothing to do with his involvement in this Industry..but it was due to hooking up with loose az women

See Richardson lost Global Diamond as well.

Owner's got some real shite horses.

Sounds like a real twat.

Going to Rogie is mind boggling , they'll be gone to another trainer by this time next year, bad karma pal 

Remember the days of OPEN DAYS at Rogersons.The placed was chock a block with wanna be owners getting into syndicates.

I wonder how many are still involved in horse ownership especially that syndicate that raced around 10 horses in the early days.

Mind you its a ''buyer beware'' situation.

Look what he paid for the Jakkalberry (nothing against him!)

Then look what he paid for a Bernadini flea...

A Fool and his money.....

2017 Karaka Sale purchase by lucky Lou ...

Lot 125 Showcasing (GB) – Fly Silca Fly (IRE), Chestnut Filly $70,000 Ambitious Showgirl – (Richardson stable) 13 starts, 0 wins 5 placings $9,950
Lot 147 Jakkalberry (IRE) – Goody Two Shoes, Brown Filly $125,000  Huckleberry Hussie (Team Rogerson) – 6 starts, 0 wins, 0 placings $0.00
Lot 305 Smart Missile (Aus) – Queen of Troy (Ire), Brown Colt $350,000 Mr Universe (Team Rogerson) – 16 starts – 2 wins, 8 placings $39,635
Lot 408 Bernardini (USA) - Tsutsumi (AUS), Brown Filly $160,000 Global Diamond (Team Rogerson) - 9 starts – 1 placing $2,000

That’s about $50k in stakes earned thus far, from an outlay of about $730k, excluding 2 yrs pre-training and training fees.

Good luck to him..he'll need it  ...but with his luck he'll prob fluke a Cox Plate winner!
