Amen (tu)

and we are now flogging a dead horse !! Is opinions and conjecture... just like deciding what to punt. We all have the same information, we all deduce differently... otherwise there would be no tote.

Personally.The Good was a top trainer,now hes an excellent presenter.
would be great if he got thrown into the ring with St John Gray,PK.MDK & The Ringer

MDK's stats is boastful.If a trainer has a top equine team to source well bred horses,then success is inevitable.
There was a stage a few years back,when Mdk was so busy,local owners couldnt be accomodated.Better now.

was that the race where the two hot horses almost came down as they rounded the bend - (i think one was a grey(Bodrum) - I think Lloyd was on one of them)

Turncoat won the Cape Guineas but never the Germiston Handicap. I got an earlier post with all the winners from the 1950's of all major races in South Africa. Its an attachment. It will bring back memories to you. Go have a look. Worth downloading (tu)

Thought it might be Model Man, ?? Goodman also had Last Watch, won a few features with Gary Waterston up. On another thought what would Gondolier perhaps have turned into had he been with someone other than Antelhme ???

Anne Upton was a wizard with horses that had problems....A lot of truth in the posts...a lot of shite too...
So there we were...20 against 1...boy, did we fark that 1 ou up:D

Expedite I think,and if I remember correctly, Turncoat was at the time a big bargain buy

It cost R1000B)-

please Ann Upton was a legend honest and treated all her horses well I think she won The Bullbrand as it was known then with sledgehammer a great horse.Craig kindly understand as an owner all you want is honesty ,loyality from BOTH sides ,pay your accounts and the relationship lasts unfortunate JG does not fit all the criteria ,just some people wont say this outright. I take my hat of to you Craig in all the support you give JG. As my father said give your worst horse to your mother in law and get her to pay the bills .LOL Craig lets disagree but lets dont be disagreeable Winston Churchill saying.We can still have our say.

sledgehammer was trained by fred rickaby
