The owner paid 9,500 for the winner compared to some of these other horse that cost up to 2 or 3 million.

The trainer has a broken ankle and drove his own pickup truck with the horse trailer 21 hours to get to the race.

Its nice to see the little guy stand up to the big horse corporations and take them down, this will be a movie.

He was fair abrupt in the interview afterwards, thought it a bit smug at the time but on second thoughts, fair play to him
coming from nothing and out of nowhere to win it like that.

Nail did you watch the race at Down Royal when Persian Gift (i think) held on to beat Clarkey by a nose? everyone in the stand and at the post thought Clarkey won. 

we all had a few quid on him at 4/1!!! but sure plenty at the meeting considering the weather

Shite.

totally shite

[rossie mad]

national hunt would no doubt be my preference but i have to say flat racing isnt bad.

It has a more upper class clientele agreed but you have to admire some of its stalwarts like aidan o brien,john oxx,bolger,godolphin,gosden and jockies like frankie,murtagh,manning,kinnane,spencer.

in my eyes great sportsmen and its a level of horseracing that the irish are more or less number one at.

Persian City it was milltown, and I will tell you what, everyone in my bookies, myself included, thought that Clarkey had got the race! t give out there was a photo fiish but all the punters with Persian backed threw their dockets away, it was only a wee while after I looked at the results page and thought what the f**k?!?! The punters couldnt believe their luck when I told them to collect on Persian!!

Maybe if Ruby wasn't on the hot fave?? Who knows!
