A horrific looking fall that really shook me.
I was dreading this - we saw the race and feared the worse, but I was praying we would get up.Originally posted by Diminuendo@Jun 3 2007, 12:32 PM
Hi Humpfree............Southwell Beginners Chase.
He was jumping for fun, one mistake and now dead..
For sure Ralph would know and would tell you if you emailed him - all emails of trainers are up on the ntf websiteOriginally posted by serena@Jun 3 2007, 11:25 PM
Anyone know where Penkenna Princess is now? I was thinking about her today and wandering how she is, She was a big favourite of mine. She was trained by Ralph Beckett.
Would make to sense to hang around Fabre´s yard any longer, would it?!Originally posted by Headstrong@Jun 7 2007, 10:28 PM
Geat shame about Visindar, a horse who never, it seemed to me, fulfilled his potential - maybe for just these reasons ie unsoundness.
Now he'll go stud I presume
Sold privately after being bought back in at the December Sales and now at stud in Japan.Originally posted by serena@Jun 3 2007, 11:25 PM

Didn't run, but was *trained* to run, before he got to Georgie's, which in the opinion of some scuppered him before he started as he handn't grown into his frame. So I was told.Originally posted by Love Everlasting@Jun 10 2007, 09:58 AM
You didn't know that much about him, you thought he ran as a 2 year old :laughing:
I don't know who told you, or if you saw him when he arrived but i distinctly remember him purely because he was just my type and stood out as quality. He was a lovely big horse, definatly not hard trained at that time anyway and for a fact Barry Hills does not rush his backward horses. Georgie broke down a lot of horses so i don't think "the poor creatures early history" was the sole reason for him breaking downOriginally posted by Headstrong@Jun 10 2007, 02:30 PM
