i recall mr goodman not going to dubai 2 yearsago when he had that good toreador filly of his running in the classic she ended up running 2nd....

Tnx pirates

Btw what % you believe is the horse and what % is the ability of the trainer ?

I trained protection dogs as a sideline many years ago,from a dog training perspective I can tell you that some trainers can turn a skrikpoes to a killer so I dnt believe that a horse cannot be improved by a change of stables

This was the 2nd post on the thread Agra :S

Hi

It's clear that you don't have the correct information. When the horse traved to gauteng it did not do well on race day, however it stayed the whole month at Joe Soma. This allowed him to a chance to get used to the altitude.

Does Laff post on the forum? Would be nice to hear from him! Also maybe Mentor could come back and give us an update would be interesting? I suppose that Agra is probably right it fealty has sweet F@&;(? all to do with all of us. I'm sure they will sort it out and Craig will post again after he's left that guest house. Come on guys lighten up .

That is correct.
It is what I heard at the post race interview.
Now what's your point?

I agree with you 100%, sometimes we make a mistake and listen to others, Jockey's also say the wrong things to trainers. Marcus also made a mistake when he said the horse will not get the distance. so now should we not give him any rides. He missed out on a grade 1!!

Point is that is what got the thread going , then you say its go nothing to do with clanners but between owner and trainer...
