Has anyone ever owned a share of a racehorse :)

[Mick Mac]

I'm about to embark on a little added fun as my life is very dull.

It's called Silver Treasure and he's French although he lives in Newmarket now.

He's only two bless him but he can already run 6 furlongs. Just not as quickly as the other horses can.

Ps. Don't tell Mrs M.

[HonaloochieB]

If I can just say, of course I have once bought a burger from a high street supermarket, can we consider the correspondence on the consumption of horsemeat opened and closed and allow Mick M's thread to continue without any (more?) unnecessary hilarity?

You're welcome Mick M.

Let us know when he's running, I'll put my little all on him.

Edited - punctuation, you're the divil...

Wow six furlongs! I don't know what a furlong is but six of them sound like a long way.

I knew some chaps that did own a nag and they used it as an excuse to get right royally lashed up at racecourses across the country and I think found the whole thing very enjoyable.

However, I suspect if you want winners it might ruin your life

[red devil]

Enjoy it Mick, should be fun, but don't back it unless Rory is the jockey...

[????]

my mum and dad had the tail of a horse called Liam's Pride...it was crap, i backed it every race except the onee time it placed (3rd)

[DulwichFox]

Give it some Polos.. Horses like Polos..

Then it will the be able to run 8 Furlongs..

And will have sweet breath...

Ranks up there with powerboat racing and buying a bit of a salmon river as an enjoyable and fleeting method of disposing of cash. Fun though.

Exactly Steveo... and its only a 5% share so no major expense.

But if it doesn't win the Derby I'l leat my hat.

[Mick Mac]

Woohoo - Its running [but soft groud is not good and it was stepping up anyway....so don't back it]

Dear All,

Silver Treasure has been declared to run in the 15:20 ( French time)at Chantilly on Friday. He has been drawn in stall 2 of 15 and Rab Havlin rides. The ground is forecast to be soft. Many thanks,

Amy Weaver.

Merci merci pgc.

Here's the card. He's not among the current favourites. http://www.turf-pronostics.com/pronostic/courses-hippiques.php?no_reunion=5262&numreunion=1&jourreunion=11-10-2013&nom_hippo=CHANTILLY&numerocourse=04&nbre1=4

What's the way of wishing good luck? Break a leg's the only thing that comes to mind, but I've a feeling that's not the right one.

[ianr]

Second, at 16-1! http://www.turf-pronostics.com/resultats-rapports-pmu/courses-reunion.php?nom_hippo=CHANTILLY&no_reunion=5262&numreunion=1&jourreunion=11-10-2013&numerocourse=04

[steveo]

Mick's in the money!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

"...so don't back it."

Bloody useless tipster!

Hope you placed it and didn't back to win.

[Mick Mac]

Sorry you guys didn't back it. Obviously I didn't know a lot about the horse and didn't want you to lose money so steered clear of recommending it.

We had a great day and we were over the moon with second place. It will run again once this year prob towards the end of the month. It will run in either a maiden for horses that have yet to win a race or a claimer where god forbid someone can buy it from us. As I only a small share i have no say so I'm hoping the main owner chooses a maiden in which case we will likely own it into next year as a three year old.

It has some distance ability on the dam side so 10 or 12 furlongs could suit it next year.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

So, you had a Chantilly Place?

I'll get me coat ...

[Mick Mac]

Running again next week.

BTW here is the pedigree - we have a bit of Northern Dancer on both sides, the most succesful sire in history (in money terms) and a Kentucky Derby winner. Some Ribot too. They do get around those boys.

[aquarius moon]

That's a really good pedigree.

He should do well.

I was mad about horse racing in the 70's & 80's (used to follow John Dunlop & back all his horses!)

All those names bring back some really good memories. Especially 'Mummys Pet' who was around the same time as 'Mill Reef' 'Brigadier Gerard' & 'My Swallow'.

Those were the days!

[red devil]

It's funny how we latch onto a certain trainer.

My friend was a big Johnny Dunlop fan, right up until he retired.

I used to back Barry Hills religiously in the late 80's early 90's...

[Mick Mac]

Amy Weaver is the new Barry Hills / Johnny Dunlop, and better looking too I'd imagine.

[red devil]

Never bet with your dick Mick.

Barry was quite dapper back in the day...

Well you know. You might be partial to a man in a hat RD, but its not for me mate.

He kept his winnings under that hat. Where does Amy keep hers?..
