Great news from Henry Brooke - he tweets this afternoon that he is 'on the mend ' -tough as teak these guys and madder than a box of frogs - chapeau !!!
Switched on ATR just in time to see the last race at Chelmsford won by Interlink (very easily). I think I heard them say that he cost £400K (not sure if that was as a foal, yearling or 2yo. Wasn't raced as a 2yo and bought for £2,500 by current owner who put him away in a field to grow up a bit.before racing him. Apparently plenty of growing and improvement to come so maybe worth looking out for in a handicap. Nice pedigree I wonder why they sold him so cheaply though (that's a massive loss). He is a gelding, presumably gelded before selling. Looks a bargain.
I saw that too Ron, £400k, never raced and then sold for £2k. Just goes to show the old adage is true about the way to winning a small fortune in racing is to start with a large fortune. A rare good night for English football. Benteke's opener for Belgium beat the previous record for the fastest ever for a World Cup qualifier. San Marino versus England in 1993. Well done Gibraltar. Oh and Southgate obviously keeps an eye on this forum and has taken Oddy's 'advice' regarding the England skipper.
