I always loved a quote from Brian Hancock....."people have been saying the trots are gone for 100 years"
seems a bit of confusion re my comment "once in a life time", the current All Stars Stable superstars would be once in a lifetime horses for the average owner or trainer......NOT the best you will see in a lifetime like a Cardigan Bay In NZ they have an excellent one hour weekly trotting show The Box Seat (a million times better than In The Gig) any way Mick Geurin made a good point re all the All Stars baggers, basically they have a small army of happy owners some of their horses have syndicate members from around the globe and the joy these horses bring them is obvious at the post race presentations the tall poppy syndrome is alive and well unfortunately Should be a great nights racing at Alexandra Park Friday night with a couple of truck loads of ALL STARS going round including SMOLDA and truly freakish 3yo LAZARUS in the Great Northern Derby and the next day the assault continues at the opposite end of the country at Invercargil |

I find this All Stars "ruining racing" sentiment from Lloydy and others both puzzling and disappointing
as CTS pointed out on MM day their horse were under gaurd in retention and still raced to expectations they are sucessful with good breeding, hard work and talent whereas in recent times in NSW trainers, drivers, stewards and drug cheats have been found guilty of conspiring to fix races Vic has had the Cramps and others also fixing races, doping etc some with underworld connections but hey, thats all good, it's Team Purdon "ruining" it......FFS, give me a break!! |

Get back to the track and accept that drivers are likely to assist their mates from time to time.
With reference to my own advice : Having seen many of all the stars of the past (many of us have) one of the most outstanding if not the outstanding looking in terms of muscle and stature imo was Jack Morris I saw parading around the M/Valley parade ring. Looked like some type of machine designed as a horse..... The point being that if I was not at the track that night I would not carry with me such a prized and vivid memory ....  |

Has the Our High Jinx inquiry been finalised?
Lloydy interesting to note that your man The Master is tweeting that Purdon is the best trainer in the world. Not that he would appreciate a recommendation from that source given recent history. |

There's been a load of champion horses that never returned a positive swab. You've alluded to that yourself many times VK.
