just read that self defence had an accident in retirement and had to be pts :(

agree with cantoris here. or maybe, just maybe, they secretly do consider going out on a high?

well, we are owners ourself and can truely say that training fees are important, but not THE MOST important. location springs to mind first, whether I do like the guy who is taking my horse, too. his facilities determin the price of course, so how can I compare when one has state-of-the-art...

just found this and very sorry to read. he was a real favorite of mine and I just loved to follow him. keeping animals unfortunatly means heartbreak far too often, and always so much harder to take when so young. my commiserations.

very sad to hear Flame, and thats how I lost my horse all them years ago, desperately sorry for all; and sad Bideford Legend die in Ascot. thought he was just tangled in rein at very first but soon became apparent it was much worse :(

as got carried away in the wrongest of threads, a litte note in here that both our horses are running in frankfurt on sunday. beltaine fire (aka betty) runs in a 6f maiden for 2yo, and bonfire drops back to 10f for his handicap3. both are ridden by a french guy called pecheur, whom we neither...

yes, toysome, a son of cadeaux genereux by the way, won the Foret at 50/1 on french pari-mutuel, and he was 100/1 in england. I know, because I backed him there. his first runners are 2-year-olds this year (making Beltaine Fire aka Betty a member of his crop) - not that many runners and hasnt...

grey - yes, all well bar that its getting too many .... bonfire did not win again (bar the one first time out in april) so far, but did run into some excellent places - think I did share his 2nd in a handicap2 in baden on here? he was 3rd again (unfort. in a dead-heat) and 5th recently in baden...

yes. was lost on the galopps. on here in an earlier post as well.

YES - so sick to watch it. just wanted to get the joy back for the jumping, but a what a downer that was. really gutted, his first ever hurdle race and he ran such a gutsy little race to that point :(:(

very very sorry to hear, grey. not on here very often nowadays so very late, but just as sorry nonetheless :(

congrats to all the other good performances as well ....

missed end - brilliant news, well done and many many congratulations !!!!! HURRRAAAHHH :):lol:

not sure its been discussed on here, but looks increasingly likely that german 3yo filly danedream will be supplemented into the field. i know its been donkey´s years since a german horse won the arc, but she couldnt have been more impressive last two times, seems to act on any ground and will...

is down as a non runner ?

same here. can´t win imo anyway.

great to read, grey, and will try and follow, sounds like you got a real run for your money. good luck with her, like the name too. good luck to swedish chef / simpson millar as well! bonfire will run in a handicap 3 in hoppegarten on saturday and is actually one of the fav´s. we are trying...

again; know I have been a bit quiet on here lately, but have to share Bonfire´s excellent 2nd place in a Handicap2 in Baden-Baden with you. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCOZ6SRTn7o

good luck cantoris - not my type though tbh, but that can only mean he turns out to be good. bonfire night out in hamburg tomorrow, handicap2

backed dancing rain in oaks, and was of course mortified when murtagh started to make the running. then i saw her flicking her ears, and pricking them all the time. indeed, alert when they do it after line, and normally means something left in the tank as well. also means they enjoy what they do...
