Re: Arc 2021

Hi Taffy, May the best horse win, I saw Frankie yesterday winning at Newmarket on board Trawlerman poetry in motion...such a pity not to see him any more soon. He has ''hands'', not many jockeys have those skills. Desperate when a horse stops, they use the only thing they think will help: the whip a...

Re: Frankie Dettori

Chaldean became second in the St. James' Palace Stakes. There are still a few chances....Frankie will ride Saga for the KIng & Queen in the Wolferton Stakes.

Re: Frankie Dettori

it seems to me that the runner-up in this Derby is again a big outsider, I've seen many Derby's but this is often the case. Is it because of the track? Carlingford Castle was second to the mighty Shergar in 1981. I was listening then to the radio at the office (nothing else) with the chief editor. S...

Re: Frankie Dettori

I saw the program yesterday and it was breathtaking, Emily Upjohn has such a turn of foot, unbelievable another great horse by Sea the Stars.

Re: Royal Ascot Week 2021

Saw a picture of Stradivarius at the stud. He looks awesome, like he could come back for another run.

I wouldn't be so sure about that...he's too fond of his new career. :wink:

Frankie got his revanche for the last performance with Chaldean, when he got bumped. https://www.racingpost.com/news/reports/frankie-dettori-unseated-from-favourite-chaldean-at-the-start-as-isaac-shelby-lands-dramatic-greenham-aH1Xc0v3CQsD/?_sgm_campaign=product&_sgm_source=N168889%7Cbrand&_...

Re: Frankie Dettori

I was shocked to read this, but there is always a time to go. It was a secret dream of mine to see him ride one or
more of Enable's offspring, but this will not happen now unfortunately.

Re: Arc 2021

Great race, awful circumstances, rain, rain, rain. Alpinista is a worthy winner, too good for Vadeni and Torquator Tasso, who got a wonderful ride from Franky Dettori. First Arc winner for Kirsten Rausing and trainer Sir Mark Prescott. Both are not exactly new in the racing scène. Mrs. Rausing alrea...

Re: Ahonoora and Habitat/Sir Gaylord

Hello Bettina, Well, it was a good week for Ahonoora's descendants, even though you have to look a long way back nowadays. Here's another one: Absolutelyflawless a 2yo By Ribchester - Key Light (Acclamation) (4x5). She won her first two races and the way she did it, she will improve. Something percu...

Re: Arc 2021

There was a little mistake in my story: TT won the Großer Hansa-Preis at Hamburg, not Baden-Baden, and Tijuana was leased to Paul Vandeberg with the contingency to return the first filly from her offsprings to Schlenderhan (so Gebhardt Apelt in a Racebets-Podcast about Schlenderhan a year ago: https...

Re: Arc 2021

In my over-exitement this weekend I did something completely wrong and my post had disappeared. Let me tell you a fairytale that came true on sunday at Longchamp. For many years Mr. Paul Vandeberg from Hilleshagen, a village near Mechelen in the south of Limburg, breeds thoroughbreds. I found the ma...

Adayar is the King of Ascot

Today the Frankel colt combined with a great German damline, won the King George IV and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes (GR1) at Ascot. The grandson if the late Galileo did what his grandfather did 20 years ago. https://www.racingpost.com/news/race-reports/awesome-adayar-becomes-first-derby-hero-to-w...
