Older Horses 2008

[Guest_]

Bar the Ballydoyle older brigade I am struggling to think of many top class older horses staying in training for next year. Any come to mind?

 

[betsmate]

Darjina - although as we've discussed 'top class' might not be your description.

 

[Guest_]

Zambezi Sun. Is Ramonti back next year?

 

[Bar the Bull]

Sakhee's Secret

Septimus

 

[trackside528]

Is Honolulu still at Ballydoyle Gal? Thought I heard he was moving on after his run in Canada..

I would imagine Aqaleem will be back next year as well..

 

[crazyhorse]

Hard Top

 

[davidjohnson]

I think I read in the Racing Post on a piece about Cecil's revival that Light Shift had been retired but Passage of Time was to stay in training.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Hardasun is the Aussie colt Gal refers to.

 

[Harbinger]

You are correct David.

 

[vixen]

I haven't heard of stud plans for any of these so they might possibly race in 2008:

Youmzain
Dandy Man
Red Rocks
Maraahel (think they were trying to find him a place at stud?)

 

[vixen]

...and Creachadoir...

 

[Harbinger]

Yeah, Youmzain is going to run in Dubai and Dandy Man has moved to Godolphin.

 

[fudge]

Royal Rock, Sundae and Premio Loco.

 

[Harbinger]

Is that a hint?

 

[Flame]

Youmzain and Halicarnnassus stay in training.

Don't bank on Majestic Roi just yet, could be off to gainsborough stud

 

[TommyL]

Getaway

...and that is a hint

 

[Harbinger]

Literato has gone to Godolphin.

 

[betsmate]

Good horse to an average trainer.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Rags To Riches is another of the Coolmore lot.

Curlin' stays in training too, Nashoba's Key, Precious Kitten too.

 

[chroniclandlord]

what happened to alexander of hales? he hasn't raced since the irish derby

 

[Guest_]

Welcome to the forum Chroniclandlord!! AOH has been sold....I think he is gone to the far east.

Interesting news about Literato while has everything been worked out legally regarding Curlin's future?
