    A new twist has occurred as regards my horse one of the syndicate members who deals with a charity in Sussex are willing to take the horse on and treat him and hopefully get him back to partial fitness certainly not raceable again,they just require a donation of £1800.It has been voted this will happen and the horse will be moved next week,my only concerns are the horse still has the injury and suffering and the charity the trainer knew wouldn't take the horse on because of the injury being so serious,I just hope it is the best for the horse?

    That was the last I heard on Monday as that was the decision made and then yesterday I was told the above was a possible and then that it was happening!

    The Oaks: It was nice of Joseph O'Brien to steer his horse right across other runners, thereby pushing two main rivals into the rail and allowing: a) his father's trained winner and b) the second owned by his father's main benefactors a pretty clear run .. O'Brien J deserves a six month ban

    Buzzing for a mate.
    Just watched 5.25 at Chester with all the pub rooting for Olivia fallow as he had that in a £1 win lucky 15 along with a 9-1, 11-4 and 5-1 winner.
    He couldn't watch the race but the horse come from last to win it on the line at 15-2.
    About £3.8k I think.

    Watched it this morning on catch up, great programme and I believe the horse gave him the will to live longer in his fight against cancer

    Haven't seen the programme yet but do agree with you smiffy that the horse gave him the will to live longer.

    Really good programme. When they showed the famous quote from Henry at the end, after Frankel had won his last race, I had to wipe away a tear. 'The best I've had, the best I've seen - I'd be surprised if there's been a better'.

    A true legend of a man, and a true legend of a racehorse. I never thought I'd see in my lifetime a better horse than Brigadier Gerard, but I believe Frankel takes the mantel as the best ever.

    Frankel went off to stud and he died 6 months later

    The win in the Guineas, and especially the Juddmonte were breath taking.

    Agreed, and I assume you mean the Juddmonte International at York. I would also single out the (Juddmonte) Royal Lodge at Ascot as a two-year old, and his first Sussex Stakes as a three-year old when he totally destroyed Canford Cliffs.

    He had such a high cruising speed it was unreal just breezed past them all effortlessly while all the other jockeys were working hard Queally was motionless on him and when asked him to go he lit up.
