So he bought 3 at the sales,  and already has a 2yo. Is he a threat to the top trainers?  I hope he does alright in the future.

A similar sized team to Pam and buying at similar prices so it will make for an interesting comparison.

Think he purchased those for clients (Breckon Farms maybe) - Purdon rarely uses his own money, good luck to him.

 

Pretty certain he bought for himself,  Barry his bro was with him and both were pretty happy.   He even said on Goowin interview he was changing tact with training,  I heard via an uber driver that Nat was after half of marks dosh?   Who knows?

Ha Ha, bit unfair to compare with Freda. Not being rude to her, but Mark Purdon in a class of his own without even starting a runner.

I've been insulted by experts, so no worries, NM, not offended by you at all.  But I think you have missed Doomed's little funny.  I doubt if too many go the $500 route.

And I bet Freda can stand up to any insults better than most from trainers in a class of their own.  Unless Mark Purdon has changed his posture from when I knew him way back when and now has his head up his arse, I think it wouldn't be beyond him to ask Freda for some galloping advice when both waiting at the swimming pool.

Sometimes the public perception does not befit the man, or woman.

I had a harness trainer went to Auckland sales about 10? Years ago,  he bought a cheap galloper.  When he paid he paid with a kiwi bank card.  He said I bet you don't see many of those!  Loll. 

Never amounted to anything.
