Doomed Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The connections of Kinane must be feeling sick. Turned down $3m it and it hasn't won a cent since. Change of trainer, change of state, and as a last ditch effort they put Jamie Kah up and it still runs last. They won't be a happy group of owners if some wanted to sell and some didn't.

nomates Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Said exactly the same to my wife when that race was run , a bad executive decision for sure . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickintheKods Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I have been following him this campaign and there was suggestions he had been working well and had significantly improved off the first up run. He needs further but I was hopeful. The fact that Kah stuck, the horse had won second up at the distance and the price was attractive, was the reason I went in early with a interest bet. The winner travelled beside him at the back and picked up in great fashion. Kinane was average to say the least. If they step him up to 2000 next start, if there is a next start, I will go again.

You've got more money than me if your going again , there was nothing in that run to suggest improvement . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickintheKods Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Kinane (NZ) Disappointing performance. Rider Jamie Kah reported that in her opinion the gelding did not appreciate racing inside other horses. Post-race endoscopy of Kinane detected a degree of internal exercise‑induced pulmonary haemorhage which may have affected the horse's racing performance. A veterinary clearance will be required prior to racing again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken note of him every start since they turned down $3m. He hasn't fired a shot and has often been well backed. I haven't spent a cent on him, so have done quite well out the races he has run in. It is a good lesson for any connections of a horse that puts in one good run in pretty average company.

Huey Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Looks all over a Country Cups horse in 12 months time to me. A few of these Reliable Mans don't appear to kick on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Not much to get enthused about locally but Good win by The Good Fight and the Shocking horse at Flemington today I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I thought it was strange to offer $3mil for a horse that was unproven. Owners mustn't have needed the dough, or there were too many of them to make it worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
