Owner Van Vuuren must be one patient guy

Rob, i`m sure he had to pay plenty, but there are others paying plenty for runners that never race..

If i had his money i think i would go the same way

Not only patient but very very loyal, Michael is a very lucky trainer.

...Bob ,I think you missing my point ...............I see the reasoning in paying good money for horses that already show ability ........................its the keeping the crap that confuses me!!!!!!!...........its like have 2 contradictory strategies ...............I think!

Perhaps he actually loves all his horses. With his sort of money you can afford to hang onto animals that don't earn their keep.

Makes me respect him more although many might call it foolish.

Sending them to PE does create quite a long distance love affair.............lol

Animal kingdom dude......I feel like he is going to be an absolute cracker of a sire!

Can't wait to see them run!

Keen to see the Redoutes Choice / Sillas Regalis..

His money spending is seeing dividends now. Good for him and mike azzie.

I still think Abashiri will make all the other talking horses in the July work to beat him

Those colours made famous by Abashiri filled in exacta today in a race at Vaal racecourse...Well done

Good luck to them , I am sure we would also buy many more horses if we had his wallet

I just hope AVV does not get sour when buying all these expensive horses and they don't train on
I would spread my horses with other trainers too , that way eliminate in and out of form of a single trainer - We all know how trainers are hot and then totally off form i.e...Viruses etc

Racing needs owners like them.

Where are the future generations of all the past BIG owners
Jaffee , Des Scott ,G Beck ++ we hardly she children racing after Parents pass on
