I see he is 3rd on the line in betting now, no surprise really, Americain & Dunaden both bottler Caulfield Cup runs

2nd horse Cirrus Des Aigles ran a nice race

Yep Cirrus Des Aigles nice run
Hong Kong Cup bound

French galloper Brigantin is out for the remainder of the spring after succumbing to a leg injury
Was set to run in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes on Saturday

Should do well based on that run behind Frankel

Beaten in the cup but what a HUGE run

yep..no luck again for luca cumani in the big one..will he be back for another crack ?

Would you believe they're calling it the "Cumani Curse"

stud fee
 

Make that 125,000 pounds!

Hope they don't wear him to a frazzle :)

Alcopop also confirmed as a runner in the $2.7 million Hong Kong Cup

Red Cadeaux,,Jakkalberry & Mount Athos all unplaced in the Japan Cup
3yo filly Gentildonna edged out boom horse Orfevre in a driving finish

That's a shame,,scratched!

..recovering from a tendon injury

Terrific effort to get 3rd

Ran 9th,,both trainer & jockey mystified by the disappointing performance

Dunaden fails, Red Cadeaux prevails

Seems that Sea Siren pulled up with a few bruises, cuts & abrasions & a black eye,,so some excuses you would think
Now in quarantine before returning to be prepared for the TJ Smith Stakes during the Sydney autumn carnival

Would you believe it was Red Cadeaux first Group One win,,a change of luck & well deserved!

Singapore galloper Mr Big has added another big race win to his list with an easy victory in the RM1 million Magic Millions Malaysian Classic
Mr Big cost just $21,000 from the Yarraman Park Stud Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale
He is yet to miss a place in his 19 starts,,10 wins & 9 placings,,& has earned over S$1.5 million during his star studded career to date

..bargain buy would be an understatement

Half brother coming up for sale

What sale is that Sands?

Is Dunaden racing on or retiring, anyone know?

..sure to get a lot more than $21K

Upcoming Gold Coast Yearling Sale

Okay, thanks Sands :)

I see that Lloyd Williams has purchased high quality UK stayer Sea Moon
Could be an Australian Cup starter & possibly the Caulfield Cup
Sea Moon won the Group II Harwicke Stakes (2400m) at Royal Ascot in June 2012 beating both Dunaden & Red Cadeaux

seems to be happening more often now

Yep! Takes money to make money

Great news that former sandgroper Hay List & superstar Black Caviar are the world's top-rated sprinters for 2012, male & female, on grass.

Frankel was rated clearly the best world thoroughbred for 2012.

I see So You Think also made the top10 2012 World Rankings

..and both back in work..
