Has anyone ever owned a share of a racehorse :)

This will do me fine before the race start, maybe not enough but is something than nothing as too many horses

had already started the race and on the most easiest way, others who are sick need to be compensated more than the healthier soft hands and prettier horses. 6 years comparing with 2 years this gives us a total of 4 years (100)

minimum and no more complains.

Saw it was due to race last week but didn't. What's happening Mick?

It needs some cut in the ground so it cancelled Ascot and ran at Angers in France. Brave front running performance but finished 3rd.

It's only on racing UK I'm afraid.

He has paid for himself so far winning ?36k before French premium but more like 50k total. Not a bad little runner.

Running today at Longchamp. 1625, 3.25 UK time.

It could be it's last race as 50% owner wants to sell it today.

On Eurostar as we speak. Bon chance. :)

The 50% owner of the horse decided to sell recently for only 8,000 so it's been sold on - its highlights were a 3rd place in a listed race as a 2yo and a maiden win as a 3yo. At that point it was rated 97 and more than covered its costs but the trainer decided to have it gelded as a 3yo and performances tailed off after that, as a 4 year old it was only once placed 4th before being sold. The new owner is a jumps trainer, so will look out for how it gets on.

It was great fun and we got away relatively lightly financially. With runs at Longchamp, Chantilly and Epsom, we had some great days out and met some top jockeys too. I think we would find it hard to get as much fun again from an affordable horse - but we might try again in a year or two. Michael.

Thanks for the update Mick. I hope the new owner doesn't change ST's name, kinda suited him...

[Mick Mac]

It did for a while - those were the good days RD, lots of second places and lots of winnings.
