Cape Town race 8 - pissing money away

Coltrane 1,25 mil
Disco Al 800k
Solomons Wall 1.7 mil

All chasing the R35380 first prize.

"More money than brains" comes to mind.

Ja ja

Disco Al ~ Runs:5 ~ Places:2 ~ 1/2 brother (Jeppes Reef) won rwice over 2500 once over 2400 and beaten 3L in the Gold Cup
Solomons Wall ~ Runs:2 ~ Places:1 ~ Full Brother won over 1600m and Full Sister won over 2000m
Coltrane ~ 4 Runs ~ Places 4 entire family won over ground

Between the 3 horses they have had 11 runs for 8 places and have yet to be tried over their preferred trips...clearly a case of calling the ambulance before the accident....

So what would you say the chances are of those 3 together even getting back the purchase price of the cheapest one?

Frodo i can give you a list of thousands of horses that fall into that catergory..the purpose of this thread is a thinly disguised dig at the owner of all 3 horses...becoming a bit predictable but still boringly annoying

Please man, Jooste a zillionaire and I am looking for petrol money ! Hardly having a dig at anyone. The point was it is a rarity to find 3 such expensive horses running in the same Maiden Plate which none of them won in hindsight.

Ja ja

Wow, and we had another expensive purchase.

Reminds me of the saying "the quickest way to become a millionaire is to start as a billionaire and buy racehorses!"

Phew agree Harris, incredible amount of loot for a bunch of what appears average sort of horses. Just wish I had access to that kind of cash ...

And here I wish I was one of those horses!
