turncoat was trained by herman brown senior ...if memory serves me correctly he was by folmar out of kisma and won the cape guineas

i think robert sangster could have been the owner

Robert Sangster did own it.

i stand to be corrected but I think Turncoat was owned by a gentleman P. Misdorp and trained by Mark Watters

Turncoat won the Cape Guineas ridden by Muis Roberts trained by Herman Brown snr. I forget the name of the stable companion ridden by Basil Marcus in that race but it started favourite and it's name began with an E if I'm correct.

definitly mr brown senior i recall him winning the richeliu guineas beating man of property trained by mr p kanemeyer and also the clairwood 1800 beating the grey bodrum trained by mr maingard...he was brilliant up to 1800 turncoat

2011-03-26 Turffontein 1800 90 58.0 A 7 2 10.25 IGUGU (AUS) Sherman Brown 115.40 40-1 45-1 Slightly Soft STANDSIDE:R1M - S A FILLIES CLASSIC (Grade 1)

2011-06-04 Greyville 2000 90 58.0 A 3 5 5.00 IGUGU (AUS) Ian Sturgeon 123.56 33/1 66/1 Good R500K- WOOLAVINGTON 2000 (Grade 1)

That is great form for a R20k buy and a 1000m juvenile winner

I'm trying to find the name Pirates but you may bre right it could've been expertise. How come I can't get a pot out of you at Club Tab?

tell them to put it on budgies acc:D

Txs will remember that next time im in Durbs. Maybe we can get Easy and Johnycome lately and Goodman and Craig to have a pot as well. Make sure there's a shit load of Vodka it could be fun.

So the question of the day

Who is a better trainer lucky h or mdk

One won multiple gr1s with JJ and the other couldn't , even richard hanon couldn't get JJ to run!

My opinion 95perc of trainers will shine with the right horse
