Freda Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 As per the heading of this thread - I saw an interview with Rogie recently, and was struck with how he had aged. I know we are all getting older, and I certainly do not wish him ill, but I kinda wonder if he is 100 per cent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 23 hours ago, Chief Stipe said: RIP, Comeback. Now take a quick look at his short( in time) but extremely busy career. This campaign was just his 2nd 'prep': resumed from a good spell on Livamol Day 6 Oct 2018 for career start #7 as a R63 horse (running 2nd to Blondlign) The Tarzino on 7 Sept 2019 was its 22nd race this prep, which included 5 wins in a row in the autumn. Not many win ''em in a row like that. Sign of an exceptional horse in the making. rating went from 63 to 94 in that time campaigned in Waikato in the spring 2018 and at Ellerslie Xmas Carnival, then on NI East Coast summer tracks early 2019, won those 5 in a row at Trentham and Manawatu in the autumn, then slogged through the Taranaki mud in the Opunake Cup in July (well behind Helena Baby) and the shifty shocking Te Rapa crap track in the Foxbridge in August to pick up a Grp 2 placing. Time then for a rest after being up for 10-12 months?? No, no, let's press on to Hawkes Bay, nothing like a sunny Spring carnival to perk up a decent horse. One thing is for sure. There will be no comeback now or ever again for Comeback - 28 starts (19 in the 2018/19 season as a 4yo) A very honest, classy and brave warhorse, only just turned 5yo ...what might he have done if handled more patiently?
