From memory Potala Palace was a beast of a 3 year old (looks). He seems to have gotten very narrow in front.

Not for me but all the best to Azzie and his connections.

Personally I believe they should retire him to the breeding shed right now. He is so well bread, rather attempt his career as a stallion.....

That would be what I would do.

Not that anybody cares

Potato Shack is definitely a better name for the "champ"

Race 6:

I think it is a straight fight between Isobar and Indian Striker. Should be good enough for the exacta and swingers.

but do you think there will be a demand for him as a stallion? I have my doubts ..

My comp selection was going to be Here Comes Billy ( the thread was not open this morning).

Hopes it shites in.

Mr. H. One never knows with the breeding fraternity in SA. It seems that a horse HAS to have race course credentials before it would be considered a stallion prospect which is not always the case in other parts of the world. (It obviously doesn't hurt).

He is really well bread and obviously a little unsound. I'm not sure what other options they have?

Also running him next week is not a good idea. He needs time now, not rushed preps to run in a race imvho

imo Indian Striker not on board.

Thanks guys Signature has improved tremendously in his work over last few weeks thats why I was confident...maybe not so much jockey stealing race

I agree best to give him a few build up runs and try for the November Hcp (charity Mile)

Irish Gift is a decent e/w bet
