I haven't noticed any of his pieces recently in the paper.I was looking forward to reading Tony's pedigree analysis of Arctic Cosmos.Tony Morris did NOT rate him,he once described him as a charlatan the colts owners thought comments like that could damage his future role as a stallion,as time has shown us the said stallion was next to useless at stud hence why he's way out east!https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/25882513/tony-morris-in-the-rp?post_id=467195933#467195933Tony Morris did NOT rate him,he once described him as a charlatan the colts owners thought comments like that could damage his future role as a stallion,as time has shown us the said stallion was next to useless at stud hence why he's way out east!Wed, 22 Sep 2010 07:05:39 -0500Not sure if you mean Tony M. was for or against the horse who only won one decent race but was hyped for the rest of its career.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/25882513/tony-morris-in-the-rp?post_id=467180569#467180569Not sure if you mean Tony M. was for or against the horse who only won one decent race but was hyped for the rest of its career.Wed, 22 Sep 2010 03:00:06 -0500im not really a hw fan but if they had not run thr rock or hc against him he would have been seen as the next comming, a gns winner that wins the derby by 12lhttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/25882513/tony-morris-in-the-rp?post_id=467109061#467109061im not really a hw fan but if they had not run thr rock or hc against him he would have been seen as the next comming, a gns winner that wins the derby by 12lTue, 21 Sep 2010 14:15:35 -0500The Rock was the best miler of recent times IMO. It pains me when a champion like him goes to the Breeders Cup which I do not regard as any kind of measure of worth of a European horse.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/25882513/tony-morris-in-the-rp?post_id=467103529#467103529The Rock was the best miler of recent times IMO.

Same for all of them I know but the colt in question just pricked his ears and charged.

His analysis columns were the most enjoyable read in the post. Very disappointing. I`m not a fan of the new format.Hawk Wing was simply an enigma.
