I didn't read the forum today....some of us have to work!! Coolmores official announcement only went out about 3 hours ago.

It wasnt me who told...

Im possibly almost as pissed off/disappointed as they are....

Hopefully something for Black Caviar to consider as a rival as opposed to a mate!

Reminds me of Eagle Mountain who supposedly returned to work last November. I haven't heard any news on his comeback, but hope Steve McKee (trainer of Sunline) can get him back to the track

But Eagle Mountain has remained an entire.

Such a shame for Starspangledbanner, but seems to be a common trait in the Danehill line (carried via Danzig) with several sons and grandsons being infertile or subfertilw across Europe and Australia.

George Washington, Cacique, Danewin, Diamond Dane, Wilander, Shovhog, Foreplay.

On an interesting note, Oh Oklahoma, returned to the track after 5 1/2 years at stud.

He came back yesterday, aged 9 and as a gelding.

I think Eagle Mountain ran in New Zealand a couple of months ago GA or it might have been out in the sticks so to speak, fairly sure he was mentioned on Racing International or whatever the show we get on ATR from down your way with Andrew Le Jeune presenting.

There's three recent NZ runs for Eagle Mountain in the RP form. They've rated him a good stone off his best. Was a fan of the horse so I'm glad to see he's being looked after despite his stud difficulties.

Incurable anoraks will remember dual Cambridgeshire winner Prince De Galles returning to the racecourse 9 yrs after being retired to stud. Brod Munro Wilson? of The Drunken Duck fame ran him in a few novice hurdles at age 14! No happy ending though.

 

[Ballydoyle]

For the life of me I cant remember the Chevely Park horse that came back a few seasons ago?

Good stuff as usual from this source. Hats off, sir.

How would you feel having to ride a gay horse every morning?

:lol:

Infertile = gay in your book then ?

What a buffoon you are .

It's bad enough at the moment, but Luke (Bruce) is soon going to have five months off Uni, so I dread to think how much he'll be posting then...
