Racehorse TALK

There is no doubt whatsoever that he was a hype horse in the stable and more was expected than he delivered on the track. I recall Zabeel being heavily hyped for a number of quality Melbourne races that he disappointed in. It isn't the end of the road or worst label ever.

Just went through his career again and there is no doubt his form tappered right off after the George Main stakes.

Hype will not be the deciding factor in him being a successful sire.

Did anyone see his son, Shellscape(?) last start?

he raced up like he was going to win by 3 lengths.......but didn't

 

Shadow Miss easy winner .

She obviously has more heart than Shellscape Willy ?

She got that from mum ?

 

Nice win

the Best Western mares go pretty good

considering the mares he hass had ( and the trainers ) he must be the brightest sire to emerge for many many years.From all reports not one has gone shin sore and im yet to see a complete walker from him - only early still but heading the right way

Lucky, whats your vested interest.

Are you Mick Malone

Do you ever see any 'complete walkers' at all  I would have though they wouldn't make it to the track.

no mate

i just think he is really exciting stallion- shame i sold mine as a yearling i would have kept him

Still flying this fellow- although it woudl be good to see his progeny get into the better stables

I backed the Dane Shadow in the first from Queanbeyan today. The jockey looked like a 4 kilo apprentice in the straight.
