Surely VV would have had an adviser or a reserve?

I think he just wanted to get out and did not care what prices he got ... poor guy ... I really hope Abba wins something for him but I think that is just sentimental hope...

Something must be very wrong with South African racing if such a big and passionate owner just packs it up like this.

in reality i suspect that a few people must have sat up and taken notice but in todays world people dont say anything because of the fear of been sued for defamation.

Quite right CNC. There were a few of us that discussed it under the radar, but kept it confidential as we didn't want to bring ABC into disrepute. So Muhtiman there were a few "soles "that were not conned!!!!

I even spoke to a very BIG CT owner who said I must be cuckoo....... :lol:

Probably giving kickbacks, to a few correctly connected, for them to keep quiet.........Very easy in SA.........

Maybe they knew but turned a blind eye because they were getting ridiculous amounts for the yearlings.
