The Coolmore horses swap and change ownership all the time. Even horses in Derrick Smith's or Michael Tabor's sole ownership will be Magnier horses somehow. Richard Henry's the CEO of Primus Advertising who do all of Coolmore's PR.

Jude belongs to the Henrys. Richard Henry owns and manages Primus who, amoung other exploits, do PR/marketing for Coolmore. His wife is Rósín Henry (BetterBetterBetter's owner).

Coolmore ownerships change frequently, usually it means absolutely sod all.

As an aside Richard is one of the most genuine people you'll meet in the Bloodstock industry.
 
Steely Grace starts off with a mark of 68......very very lenient if she learns to settle a little better - Halford loves his sprint handicappers. Royal Visit the winner of that maiden at Naas on Saturday goes in off 86. There should be a few winners out of that race with Attacx yet to get a mark. If Steely Grace met Royal Visit getting 18lbs I know who I'd be backing...

I would have left fire lily alone, she's a big filly and seemed to just get tired. Pretty conservative rating for light heavy, he won well and has scope.[/QUOTE

I think that Light Heavy is a very ordinary looking horse. He is primed to within an inch of his life, this and the Derrinstown are probably his derbys. 16/1 for Epsom is a complete joke..

Looking at an AP bet for Derby at the moment and just discovered that Light heavy is Parish Hall's uncle.

Yes, this was mentioned recently.

Light Heavy is out of the Quest For Fame mare, Siamsa and Parish Hall is out Siamsa's daughter Halla Siamsa herself a daughter of Montjeu. It is also the family of Ebadiyla, Ezima and Edabiya

Which aeroplane? There are so many mentioned on here I'm losing track and are we talking jet fighters or Wright Brothers?:confused:

The rules of the aeroplane:-

There is never more than one aeorplane allowed in training at any one time...one in each code....the current aeroplanes are 1)Sprinter Sacre - The Black version over jumps and a similarly coloured 2) Ernest Hemmingway on the flat.
It is incumbent on everyone to hype the absolute shi* out of them until they massively dissappoint us at some stage and we swiftly latch on to the next whisper or rumour and build them up to aeroplane status all over again. It's the cycle of life....
 
The entry is clearly an attempt to throw people off the scent. Well I'm clearly not falling for it. #timetohaveabitmoreon

Beautifully elucidated... I wouldn’t have wanted to have made a faux pas. One at a time and any colour as long as it’s black eh? Are we allowed to shoot down aeroplanes or do they have sacred status until they lose... is there an aeroplane waiting list? #deathfromabove.

You should always have a couple of potential Aeroplanes on the back burner and the less exposed they are the better as you can make stuff up and start a hypefest... An unraced Aeroplane is the ideal starting point. The spotting of one or being pointed in the direction of one garners the greatest satisfaction and admiration from your contemporaries.

You can have several machines but only one Aeroplane a bit like mistresses and one wife.#ispottedernestfirst
