Bit Of A Yarn

A lesson to all.


Doomed

I watch with a sense of bemusement every few weeks when Kinane goes around in Australia. He must be the poster child for any owner thinking of turning down a good offer for a horse. 

For those who don't recall, his connections turned down a offer of around $3m after he won a weak 3yo race. Over more than two years since then the gelding has changed states, had about three different trainers and never run in the first three again. His latest effort tenth at Flemington on Saturday. All the time probably incurring about $150,000 in training costs.

It got me thinking whether there are many instances of connections turning down multi million dollar offers and the horse going on to win heaps, especially a gelding. I'm sure there must be some but none spring readily to mind.
