Wasn't he 100k?

IEEE met FuPeg a few weeks ago - he's rather calmed down from his racing heyday of being pretty much doolally. I haven't had too much experience of his offspring. Still covering at 15k though.....

The off spring of his that I have seen in the flesh have been beautiful looking animals - some spectacularly so!

From the yearlings I saw at Keeneland, yes they're lookers (unlike the Curlins!!)

See AOB running more and more Pivotals - are they bred or bought in. Lively looking one entered tomorrow..

Both. I think there's less than 5 in Ballydoyle though so not exactly numerous! More Oasis Dreams

The Oasis Dream's they have had have not had much impact so far.

You obviously disagree but the unless I'm forgetting one I can't remember any of them winning even a listed race.

Just realised Power and Reply are Oasis Dream. Not bad!

Yes, it was the new 2yo crop I was alluding to...Power and Reply have flown the flag for OD this season. The Coolmore boys have bought two more OD yearlings already this sales season so they must be happy with them.

Think Maarek has a very decent EW chance in the big sprint handicap at the Curragh tomorrow. He will get his ground, has won over 5f up the Curragh earlier this year, ran a cracker in the Silver Cup last weekend and is weighted to reverse form with Cheviot the favourite on recent runnings. As a four year old he still has plenty of room for improvement off 89. He is also drawn better than those shorter in the Market in 17.

Nice touch landed there - opened 16/1 this morning returned 15/2.

Good work OTB.

Some gamble on the McManus horse in the first at the Curragh 20s > 5/1 and not too far off being landed. Each-way punters did OK.

 

[SlimChance]

Has anyone noticed how many times his horses are hammered in the betting on a Sunday. Its an idea for a new thread. I can think of three now in four weeks that were completely steam rolled in the market.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Last week's should have won IMO

 

[SlimChance]

I still don't know how it got beat and believe me I WANTED it beat!

Among Equals is an Oasis Dream as well.

Not too far for his layers hopefully.

Has anyone ever improved an ex O'Brien horse?

Archipenko, and there were others in recent seasons as well I think. Poet is another.

I've heard a whisper about a horse for sale that could possibly win 2 or 3 novice hurdles in England next summer.How much would such a horse be worth?.
