Mad money for horses that will never recoup it all. NH game has become so far detached from what it is meant to be.
I see that Pied Piper will stay with Elliott and be trained as a 'dual-purpose prospect'. Does this include The Gold Cup (hats 'orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrf and all that...) or will they exploit that nice looking handicap mark before stepping into Cup company??? Some huge prices paid yesterday but I see Chantry House's full brother (4YO) went for just €25,000!!! As someone once said, 'cheap as chips'. Meanwhile, it was nice to see Harry Deham acquire a couple of nice types from the sale - Imagine and Mollys Mango.
