Shams in CT

11 years 10 months ago

Why have the Shams not got a satellite yard in CT?
They come across as such genuine people, loved by all on this forum.
And very talented.
Snaith and company raid their pots up in PE. Why don't they raid some of the CT pots?
Suppose its all about patronage...

The Cape boys keep telling us their animals are the best in the continent , so there wouldn't be much point (

Shew !!! Thanks for the support. Basically we started training in PE as a "semi retirement" but have now got a new "full time" job. We mostly have genuine PE horses and a lot of babies to prepare for the new season do not really have any CT quality.

FYI it is easier on horses to travel form CT to PE (or vice versa) than from PE to Natal (or vice versa) purly form a distance point.

We do have weaker fields in winter and I am sure some of your stronger horses could do well here
Also just before the start of the summer season there should be nice races with small fields?
