Exodus of the very best.

Vettel, meadow magic, solo traveller, tales of bravery, top seller, il saggiatore, ice axe, polar bound, rudi rocks etc etc all running in mauritius. Surprising for you folks.. Even Master plan is rumoured to be in negociation.

Would not regard them as the very best?

when the mauritians pay silly money they can get the 2nd best

They certainly in top 5%

Very cool tiny island that backs their horses rather than living for stakes, are more dominant when buying from us. I always wondered how the economics of racing works there, they certainly pay the jocks very very well.

If you think about it , these horses will run every 3 weeks or so on the island, not so in SA, therefore there racing is actually stronger than our week to week stuff... ??

Solo Traveller was 3rd in last years Horse Chestnut

Top Seller was 3rd in the classic 2 years ago

Tales of Bravery would probably be the highest rated horse on show if turning up at Turffontein today

They certainly go racing on the Island every week looks like the July and the punters get very excited (tu)
So what ever they are doing ? They are doing well

good luck to owners and buyers of horse, owners cant make the money they get offer from mauritius. i here story that average horse get 100000. i cant remember name but one of louis horse get sold for that and he is just win the maiden after many runs so make sense to sell he wont earn more

How else are they going to get their daily intake of horse meat.......

Some of these top horses are now owned by major bookmakers in Mauritius. The economics works great for them.

When you get offers of 150k for a 1 time winner who may win another 2 here it's a no brainer......the mauritians make that back and plenty more in 1 punt.....that's how they can pay so much for our used horses....punt ,punt and more punt!

Either we have forgotten how to set up the punt, or we have let our system degenerate to the point where it is no longer a game of skill. If the tote does not come up with a deep pocket bet soon, they may miss whatever opportunities they have left.

The tote forgets that the effect of inflation, where the real value of money can halve every 5 years or so, also makes their exotic bets easier and they too lose their value...or as my daughter says when I state the obvious, "Duh! Dad."

The proof is how both the PA and Jpt got resuscitated by 4 to 3 places and no couplings, making each much more difficult. You would think the P and GC would notice. They need a bit of passion to fire things up, every business needs to reinvent it self, especially ancient ones involved in gambling.
